haitians saw that americans were able to get equality for all people.
haitians were encouraged to declare their right to self - rule.
haitians believed they could defeat the british if the americans did.
haitians realized that they could win independence without using violence.

Explanation:

The American and French Revolutions inspired the idea of self - rule and freedom. The Haitian enslaved people, influenced by these revolutionary ideals (such as the concepts of liberty and equality from the French Revolution and the fight for independence from the American Revolution), were encouraged to declare their right to self - rule.

• The first option is incorrect because the American Revolution did not achieve equality for all people (slavery still existed in the US after the revolution).
• The third option is incorrect as Haiti was a French colony, not a British one.
• The fourth option is incorrect as the Haitian Revolution was a violent struggle for independence.

Answer:

Haitians were encouraged to declare their right to self - rule.
