How did the American revolution impact/influence the Haitian revolution?

The Haitian Revolution of 1804 impacted the United States of America, led by Thomas Jefferson, instilling fear of racial instability in the US, and the possible problematic effect the revolution could have on the early foreign relations and trade between the US and the new independent Haiti. Thomas Jefferson realized that the Haitian Revolution had the potential to cause an upheaval against slavery in the US by not only the slaves themselves, but by white abolitionists as well. Southern slaveholders feared that the revolt might spread from the island of Hispaniola to the slave plantations of the Southern United States. The primary goal of the US was to maintain social order in the country, so the United States attempted to suppress the Haitian Revolution. The US even went as far as to refuse acknowledgement of Haitian independence, until 1862 which was during the heat of the North American civil war, coincidentally the main causal factor for the war between the States was slavery. - - wikepedia artical i wrote
