Why didn't Americans, including President Jefferson, publicly treat Haitians as “brave and courageous human beings"? CHOOSE 3! THIS WILL BE A PARAGRAPH YOU WRITE!
While Americans had fought for their own freedom against England, they had chosen to not confront the contradiction inherent in enslaving others while fighting for one’s own liberty and independence.
America was afraid that Haiti would come to America and attack its people
The Americans would then have to acknowledge the contradiction in their new nation.
Jefferson and others believed that if they acknowledged the new nation of Haiti with its overt declaration that all men were equal, they risked a declaration of independence of people they were enslaving within the United States.
