Analyze the primary sources relevant to your historical event for the presence of bias.
Both sources are biased. Since they are both created by men who love their country and were a part of the revolution, these sources tell one side of the story. We do not get to hear the French’s side of history and how it took place.
Compare how your historical event is represented in your primary sources.
Both the sources are made by people who were on the front lines of the Haitian Revolution that led to their independence. Both have a good understanding of the life they want the Haitian people to live after becoming free. These sources have provided a clear understanding of the rise of Haiti’s win and how its people should be treated after.
