Cevap
The Haitian Revolution successfully challenged racial hierarchies and abolished slavery, whereas the American Revolution achieved political independence without dismantling the institution of slavery.
The Haitian Revolution was a radical social revolution led largely by enslaved people that resulted in the abolition of slavery and the establishment of a state free from racial hierarchy. In contrast, the American Revolution was primarily a political independence movement led by colonial elites that left the social structure and the institution of slavery intact.
