Skit
Kailana: Latin America has been going through a very, very tough time. Ever since
we were colonized by Europe the social hierarchy has been unequal.
Nyashja: Well if you think you have it bad wait until you hear what we go through.
The third estate which I am in we have to pay all the taxes, even though the nobles and
the church are the most wealthy and what makes it even worse is that Louis XIV spends
so much of our money on unnecessary things.
Boukman: Will you people stop complaining about your little problems. Us Haitians
have it the worst. We are slaves and our owners don’t care about our well being.
Nearly 40,000 newly enslaved Africans were brought to replace the ones who died from
the lack of food and brutal treatment.
Kailana: I didn’t realize that other countries were in need of a revolution like us.
Now that we know that we all need revolutions how are we going to start it.
Boukman: I’m a runaway slave who was one of the most visible early leaders of the
Haitian Revolution. I conducted a religious ceremony in which a freedom covenant was
affirmed this ceremony would have been a catalyst to the slave uprising that marked the
beginning of the Haitian Revolution.
Boukman:I sacrificed a pig and drank his blood as a sign of commitment and
confidence.

French Revolution
The French revolution was caused by 3 reasons. The political, social and
economic reasons. The political cause is that King Louis XVI ruled by
Divine Right and had people put in jail and killed others. Only the
nobl.es had power which means there was no democracy. The social cause
was that there were 3 classes; the first, second and third estate. Each
estate was represented by different people. The third estate was made up
of 97% of the people and they were the ones that paid all the taxes. The
last reason was the economic cause which is tied to the second cause which
was that tye third estate had to pay all the taxes even though the nobles
and the church were the wealthiest.
