    The passage of the Northwest Ordinance led enslaved laborers to believe that slavery had been outlawed in all newly acquired territories, prompting them to revolt to enforce the law.
  2. The migration of planters and enslaved people fleeing the Haitian Revolution brought individuals with direct knowledge of revolutionary tactics and ideals to the region.Cevap
  3. C
    The leaders planned the revolt primarily to establish a permanent grand maroonage community in the swamps, prioritizing isolation over attacking plantation infrastructure.

Cevap

The migration of planters and enslaved people fleeing the Haitian Revolution brought individuals with direct knowledge of revolutionary tactics and ideals to the region.
The correct answer is correct because the Saint-Domingue migrations brought thousands of refugees, including free and enslaved Africans who had firsthand experience with the Haitian Revolution, into the Louisiana territory. This transfer of revolutionary ideology and military organization directly influenced Charles Deslondes and other leaders of the 1811 German Coast Uprising.
