How did the

Enlightenment

influence the French

and Haitian

Revolutions?

The Enlightenment influenced the French and Haitian Revolutions by inculcating on the minds of people the possibility and importance of equality and representative government.

Explanation:

Toussaint L'Ouverture, a slave who was influenced by the ideas of the Enlightenment, went to the Caribbeans and inculcated on the minds of the people the significance of freedom. He took charge as the leader of the revolution in Haiti and led it against their French colonizer. The seeking of equality and equal representation proposed through the enlightenment ideas became the foundation of the French Revolution.
