PRESENTATION OUTLINE

SAINT-DOMINGUE

RECLAIM THE LAND BY EVAN, JOHN, AND RIMA(TIMMY)#COUGHHSQUAD

OUR BELIEFS

  • Abolishment of Slavery
  • Equality
  • Landownership
  • Focusing on yourself first

HOW TO REBEL

  • Refuse to work
  • Divide the land (among population)
  • Expel the whites from the land
  • Declare independence from France
  • Produce goods for only ourselves

HOW THIS CAN HELP

  • The people can now own the land they work on
  • Focusing on yourself benefits the local market
  • Outright independence will abolish slavery
  • Land ownership creates a clean slate for the country

QUOTES

  • "The French Revolution has enlightened the Europeans
  • , We are loved and wept over by them, but the white
  • colonists are the enemies of the blacks..."- Charles
  • Malenfant

Explanation
What the quote is saying here is that the white colonists were inspired by enlightenment ideas. The blacks like those ideas too, but they won't follow them because they are enemies with the whites

Final Supporting Argument:
Having people own their own land that they have worked on for many years can allow them to subdivide their land to later generations. This new system would allow everyone in Saint Domingue to enter a new free society
