Respuesta :

Answer: Only (I) and (VI) are FALSE.

Explanation:

Following the American Revolution´s demand for no taxes without representation, the French Empire´s colonial leaders required seats in the Estates-General, and the white elite of Saint Domingue acquired six of them.

The Haitian Revolution led by the French general  Toussaint L'Ouverture had more chances of getting support from John Adams, who had been a key leader of the American Revolution, rather than from  Thomas Jefferson, who tried to contain the revolution by denying recognition of the Haitian independence.
