Answer 2

Based on the population of Haiti in 1789, we can infer that enslaved people comprised 90% of the population.

The Haitian population was 556,000 people in the year 1789 which means that the number of enslaved people were:

= Population - White - Free people of color

= 556,000 - 32,090 - 25,000

= 498,910 enslaved people

This number in percentage is:

= Enslaved people / Total population

= 498,910 / 556,000

= 89.7

= 90%

In conclusion, enslaved people made up 90% of the Haitian population.
