Immediate After Effects of the Haitian revolution
1. African people all over the world are inspired to fight harder and longer than they are already doing.
2. Haiti supplies fighting revolutionaries to other Caribbean islands.
3. The fear of having too many Africans fresh from Africa contributes to the abolition act of 1807.
4. Inhumane 'breeding' programmes and the systematic rape of African women is increased to make up for the loss of African labour.
5. Cultural subjugation of African peoples becomes institutionalised - African linguistic and religious expressions are criminalised.
6. Increase in missionary activity in colonies to convert Africans to Christianity.
7. France and America set up a trade embargo on Haiti which ruins the economy.
8. In 1825 France demands reparations for destruction of its property during the revolution.
9. A weakened France is forced to sell New Orleans and the Louisiana territory,74 times the size of Haiti, in what is now the USA for 60 million francs.
