Description acceptable. Louis Delgrès (“del-GRESS”) attempted to resist the reversal of this goal in an area where it was achieved by Victor Hugues (“yoog”). Although this goal was reaffirmed in Article 3 of a constitution issued by a leader later likened to Fidel Castro and Pericles, dissatisfaction with its implementation led to a rebellion led by Moïse Hyacinthe (“mo-EEZ yah-SANT”). In exchange for military aid, Simón Bolívar promised Alexandre Pétion (“pay-tee-ON”) to achieve this goal in Venezuela. The National Convention issued a decree ratifying this goal for all territories after it was declared locally by Léger-Félicité Sonthonax (“lay-ZHAY fay-lee-see-TAY son-toh-NAX”). This goal was reversed by the Law of 20 May 1802, which the Leclerc (“luh-CLAIR”) expedition attempted to enforce in Saint-Domingue (“san-doh-MANG”). For 10 points, name this goal that sought to end the institution that enabled Haiti’s pre-revolution sugar plantations. ■END■
