“It cannot be denied that when the French nation proclaimed these sacred words, ‘Men are born and remain free and equal in rights,’ it did not break the chains of humankind. It is we who must put these words into action. The wealthy plantation owners of Saint-Domingue [Haiti], therefore, have everything to fear from the influence of our revolution on the current actions of their slaves. These principles overturn the system on which rests their fortunes. No one should be surprised, therefore, that these plantation owners have become the most ardent enemies of these principles. Yet the moment has arrived to change the social system of the colonies, to reintegrate it into humankind. It is in this greater action that the salvation of all parties, justice, and glory will be found.

The free men of color demand justice, and they should be granted the same rights of citizenship as other Frenchmen. The colonists should no longer refuse them. The artisan slaves should also be called to freedom on the condition that each slave pays a one-time tax for freedom. The other Black slaves may enjoy a conditional liberty, namely that they remain on the land of their masters and work that land for a period ranging between 10 and 20 years depending on circumstances. Afterward, they may obtain the same full liberty as the artisan slaves.”

Armand-Guy Kersaint, French nobleman and deputy in the National Legislative Assembly of France, address to the Assembly, Paris, 1792

“To bring the Blacks of Saint-Domingue back to their original condition of slavery is impossible: the writings of the philosophes have spread over the surface of the globe and neither superstition nor despotism can extinguish their ideas. Everything is headed toward general freedom, everything tells you that man will no longer be the slave of man. Tear off the fatal blindfold: the colony of Saint-Domingue will no longer be cultivated by the hands of slaves.

But, some will object and say, ‘The Blacks won’t work anymore once they are free. White hands will never suffice to work the land under a burning sun; in short, the colony cannot survive without slavery.’ I understand you, cold egoists, men without feeling! You need slaves, that is, men you can treat like beasts of burden; you need slaves, that is, victims. What law forces a man to give another man the entire fruit of his labor? This Black individual is free, because neither the nation nor the Supreme Being created slaves. He is your equal, because he is a man. He is a French citizen, because he serves the country, because he contributes to its splendor as much as you do, and because the French nation loves all its children equally. In exchange for his labor, the Black man will receive a salary proportional to his effort.”

H. D. de Saint-Maurice, French journalist, newspaper article written following the destruction of the largest French city in Saint-Domingue, published in a French newspaper in Saint-Domingue, 1793

Which of the following most directly influenced the arguments about social and economic change in Saint-Domingue expressed by Kersaint and Saint-Maurice in the passages?


A.Mercantilists



B.Absolutists



C.Laissez-faire capitalists


D.Enlightenment thinkers

Answer: (D) Enlightenment thinkers

Explanation:

The most directly influenced by the arguments about social and economic change in Saint-Domingue, expressed by Kersaijg and Saint-Maurice in the passages, are Enlightenment thinkers. The correct option is d.

The Enlightenment is the term used to define the outpouring of philosophical, scientific, and political knowledge in Europe at the beginning of the 18th century. European civilization had already experienced the Renaissance (1300-1600) and the Scientific Revolution (1550-1700). The Enlightenment further transformed intellectual and political life based on the application of science to dramatically alter traditional beliefs and practices.

Enlightenment thinkers believed that rational reasoning could apply to all forms of human activity. Their writing can be "broadly understood to stand for the claim that all individuals have the right to share their ends for themselves rather than let others do it for them".

Politically, they asked what was the proper relationship of the citizen to the monarch or the state.

A) Identify ONE way that trade in some commodities was organized in the late 1800s and early 1900s that gave an economic advantage to merchants and companies in the United States, as shown in the cartoon.


B) Identify ONE similar way trade was organized in the same time period to benefit Europe.


C) Explain ONE consequence of this for one of the examples used in (A) or (B).



A) One way that trade in some commodities was organized in the late 1800s and early 1900s that gave an economic advantage to merchants and companies in the United States is that the US forcefully made countries nearby and in their control or influence to essentially exclusively trade with the US. The US controlled trade in much of the Western Hemisphere, and used their immense military power to police trade in the region. The phrase, as depicted in the cartoon, “speak softly and carry a big stick”, means that America should negotiate, but also show that they have a lot of military strength, without actually doing anything, unless absolutely necessary.


B) One similar way trade was organized in the same time period to benefit Europe was that European powers used their military strength to pressure other countries into trading with them. This was similar to the big stick policy, but they established colonies and controlled trade through that. European powers also forced Asian countries to establish ports so that they could trade there. The fundamental principles of both the American big stick policy and its European counterpart are the same, as they control trade in the regions they want to trade in with their military strength and influence.


C) One consequence of this for one of the examples used in problem A is that American merchants and companies were able to have a lot of economic control in other regions, and their profits increased as they gained more control of trade in the regions they aimed to control. With economic control of a region, also comes a certain degree of political control, so many US companies used their control to influence political decisions in their favor. For example, the United Fruit Company used their economic control over some portions of South America, and inhibited the development of countries in South America like Guatemala.
