question 5 of 10
which of the following groups launched a rebellion that would eventually
become the haitian revolution?

a. enlightenment thinkers in hispaniola

b. african slaves in french territory

c. middle - class spanish business owners

d. landowning aristocrats in the caribbean

Explanation:

The Haitian Revolution began as an uprising of enslaved Africans in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (now Haiti). This group led the rebellion that overthrew slavery and colonial rule, establishing Haiti as an independent nation. The other options do not align with the origin of the revolution: Enlightenment thinkers did not lead the rebellion, the colony was French (not Spanish, ruling out options C), and landowning aristocrats were the colonial elite targeted by the rebellion.

Answer:

B. African slaves in French territory
