The Haitian Declaration of Independence, 1789 – 1804, by Laurent Dubois and John Garrigus is a translation concerning the ‘supposed’ Slave Revolution in the Caribbean. The significance of the account helps provide an historical account of the occupation of the island of Hispaniola, present day Haiti. Similarly, the context provides a clear mindset of the victims whose indulgence for 14 years of war, separation and lost culture clearly had enough. Interestingly enough, the source collaborates with course materials, concerning societal enlightenment and individual freedom. Similarly, the Haitians believed the French mocked their freedom and culture, which in turn sparked island’s revolution and collectively swept the nation mindset perpetually.
