Which of the following best explains how the causes of
the Haitian Revolution differed from the causes of the
American Revolution?
"Amongst a people thus hardened into an orderly ferocity
-trained from inclinationimpenetrably fortified on the
finest territory on earth, and next to inaccessible to
external attack, what hopes are entertained of the
success of the present armament I know not; but,
whatever might be expected from a compromise with
Toussaint, I feel perfectly convinced no other means will
succeed in the subjugation of St. Domingo. United as are
the blacks and mulattos, fifty thousand men would ere
long be dissipated in such an attempt; and if the number
now sent against them could be found sufficient to effect
a temporary conquest, what number of men would
continue to keep them in subjection?"
