question 3 of 10
which of the following describes a difference between the haitian revolution and the american revolution?

a. only the haitian revolution was motivated by a desire to end slavery.

b. only the american revolution produced class divisions after its success.

c. only the haitian revolution eventually resulted in an absolute monarchy.

d. only the american revolution was inspired by enlightenment ideals.

Explanation:

• The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) was led by enslaved people explicitly seeking to abolish slavery, while the American Revolution (1775-1783) focused on independence from Britain and did not address slavery as a core goal (enslavement continued in the U.S. for decades after).
• Option B is false: both revolutions had post-success class divisions.
• Option C is false: Haiti did not become an absolute monarchy; it established a republic (with later authoritarian rule, not absolute monarchy).
• Option D is false: both revolutions were influenced by Enlightenment ideals of liberty and equality.

Answer:

A. Only the Haitian Revolution was motivated by a desire to end slavery.
