Even though the united states had just had its own revolution to overthrow a colonial power, it did not support the revolution in haiti because a. the united states regretted breaking with england because of the economic problems it caused b. the united states did not have any relationship with france, so it did not get involved in any french affairs c. toussaint l'ouverture insisted of running the revolution himself and would not accept assistance from any other sources d. the united states was concerned about slave rebellions in the south and did not want to support one in another country

Letter D is correct.

Since Haiti had freed itself from slavery, the United States did not support the revolution. The American government feared a successful slave rebellion would take place in the South. At that time, wealthy plantation owners (such as those in South Carolina) were pressuring the U.S government afraid of losing their source of power and prestige which was entirely dependant on slavery. In fact, in order to isolate Haiti and prevent slave revolution from spreading, President Thomas Jefferson joined with European nations to place an embargo on Haiti.

the expansion of the rule of empires over other territories took place as a result of several reasons including economic, ethnocentric, political, and religious, and exploratory purposes.

in terms of economic purposes: imperial governments aimed to maximize profits and with that purpose they neeeded cheap labor, access to or control of markets to sell or buy products. they also desired to find natural resources (precious metals and land). in the awake of   industrial revolution, dependent colonies provided the necessary raw materials that european factories and market needed to manufacture products.  

ethnocentric: many territories were conquered by imperial territories in an attempt to spread their cultures, values and belief as they considered them to be superior. in the late 19th century, for example, european powers held   the racist belief that inferior races should be conquered in order to “civilize” them.

political: another reason that drove conquer and expansion was patriotism and growing imperial power. it refers to national prestige, pride, and security. empires sought strategic territory to ensure access for their navies and armies around the world.

religious: the aim of converting new member of other religions was another factor that prompted expansion.   christian missionaries from europe established churches in conquered territories during the nineteenth century. thus, they spread western cultural values. furthermore, the imperial nation’s language was spread as well, through educational and religious interactions.

exploratory: imperial nations or their citizens aimed to explore territory that was unknown to them,   for different purposes including medical or scientific research, however, at the very   beginning, they did it to embark on adventure. furthermore, imperial explorers sought to discover, map, and claim territory before their imperial competition did, for national and personal glory as well as to realize the imperialist goal of expansion.

option d is correct. corroborated sources of historical evidence   is necessary to validate a claim about an event in history.

historians tend to use written sources, but audio and visual materials as well as artifacts are important objects that supply information to modern historians.

historical sources are usually divided into two categories: primary and secondary sources. depending on the historian's intent, some sources shift their designation. determining what type of sources toimplement, and the level of credibility and reliability of those sources, is a significant step in critical thinking for the historian.
