Dear Diary, The tension in the atmosphere these past couple of weeks has caused me to write. I have heard all sorts of talk about a slave rebellion against their masters, led by Toussaint L’Overture . As I am against slavery, I am excited to see the outcome of this, which will hopefully be in the favor of the slaves considering they outnumber the planters ten to one . I am also against France, or for the revolution, so I have been given the name of a rebel. What I don’t understand is why others wouldn’t want to break off from France? If we did we would receive more human rights, universal citizenship, and participation in government .; Also, the newly enforced tariffs on goods, the forbidden trading with certain countries, and our lack of importance in the French government should make it

  • Dear Diary, The tension in the atmosphere these past couple of weeks has caused me to write. I have heard all sorts of talk about a slave rebellion against their masters, led by Toussaint L’Overture . As I am against slavery, I am excited to see the outcome of this, which will hopefully be in the favor of the slaves considering they outnumber the planters ten to one . I am also against France, or for the revolution, so I have been given the name of a rebel. What I don’t understand is why others wouldn’t want to break off from France? If we did we would receive more human rights, universal citizenship, and participation in government .; Also, the newly enforced tariffs on goods, the forbidden trading with certain countries, and our lack of importance in the French government should make it an easy decision to break away . The presence of slaves, I feel, is actually hurting us, which is why I am so in favor of ending slavery. If one needs workers, they chose to get slaves because they do not need to be paid, unlike middle class citizens who do not have as many jobs as possible because owners would rather have cheaper workers. I know that it will take more than one day and one battle, but I really hope the slaves win this battle. L’Overture is definitely standing out to everybody, and I have a feeling that he may lead us to victory tomorrow. I hope we are making the right decision, and this will help us instead of hurting us in the long run.
