Research Topic

My research topic is The Haitian Revolution. I chose this topic because I have never really learned about Haiti in a history class before, and thought that I might learn about a country that is very close to the United States, and Louisiana. I have learned a lot during my research. I have heard of names in the past, but never knew what they did; however, now I connected the dots and know a lot more names: Toussaint L'Overture, Napoleon, Vincent Oge. The Haitian Revolution, or the only successful slave rebellion in history, is a unique topic, and very interesting.
The Haitian Revolution was not only ten years of war, but also debate in the government. The constant fight to end slavery, and for the slaves to get equal rights was a difficult battle. At the start of the Haitian Revolution, there were many different times, where government officials or military generals violate human rights. There were also trust issues between men, which lead to dreadful things. After much research, my thesis (first couple of sentences in the second paragraph), has tied everything together. Knowing what different people did helped me shape my thesis.
