To what extend did ideas expressed in and events occurring in the American and French Revolutions contribute to social unrest and, ultimately, revolution in Saint Domingue? To what extent do the events in Saint Domingue influence the ideas expressed by and decisions of French Revolutionaries?  

Please provide examples with reference to each of the major socio-racial groups (grands blancs, petits blancs, gens de coleur libre, esclaves/noirs) in Saint Domingue. 

I have done my research but only gathered a few results, I need help on this topic and any thoughts you might have, please. I have to write an essay on this question.

Thank you!
