b. the haitian revolution proved that abolition would not help former slaves.
c. the haitian revolution demonstrated that abolitionism should be peaceful.
d. the haitian revolution launched the u.s. abolitionist movement.

Explanation:

The Haitian Revolution was a successful slave revolt. Abolitionism aimed to end slavery. The Haitian Revolution (a real - world event of slaves fighting for freedom) put the ideas of ending slavery (abolitionism) into action.

• Option B is incorrect. The Haitian Revolution showed that former slaves could gain freedom and self - governance, which is in line with the goals of abolitionism.
• Option C is incorrect. The Haitian Revolution was a violent struggle, not a peaceful demonstration of abolitionism.
• Option D is incorrect. The U.S. abolitionist movement had its own roots (such as moral opposition to slavery, religious beliefs) and was not launched by the Haitian Revolution.

Answer:

A. The Haitian Revolution put the ideals of abolitionism into action.
