Haitian+Revolution


 * Haitian Revolution**





When 600 Haitian slaves paraded in St. Domingue, the French military responded be killing them all. American vessels came by and took the bodies and threw them overboard into the sea. They were fighting against the French rulers to gain their freedom and independence.

I believe the US did not want to get involved in the Haitian Revolution because they still had slaves in the US. It would have been hypocritical of them to get involved. They did not want to start a battle/war.
