Cause: Slaves dont have the

same rights as free people

Cause: Everyone should

have equal rights.

Documents one and two show that one of the causes of the revolution was the fight over the
rights of slaves in Haiti.

Effect: Jefferson was afraid

the Haitian Revolution would
provide an example for
American slaves, so Jefferson
refused to trade with Haiti.

Effect: The leader of Haiti

was afraid that if his people
encouraged other s to have
revolutions, bad things would
happen to Haiti.

Documents 3 and 6 show the effects of the Haitian Revolution. They show that one of the
effects wsa that other countries became worried that their own slaves would revolt and so
they responded negatively to Haiti.
