Focusing on Passepartout’s perspective makes the story
objective. Passepartout doesn’t have a personal bias or have anything to prove
so he doesn't react impulsively or affectionately. (Greenleafable,
Brainly)“Being much less cool-headed than Mr. Fogg, he was
much more restless, counting and recounting the days passed over, uttering
maledictions when the train stopped, and accusing it of sluggishness, and
mentally blaming Mr. Fogg for not having bribed the engineer. The worthy fellow
was ignorant that, while it was possible by such means to hasten the rate of a
steamer, it could not be done on the railway.” This is a quote showing that the
narrator is telling the story from third person, not Passepartou from first, thus giving the story a more real and relatable aspect to it.
Answer:
:The Haitian Revolution and the subsequent emancipation of Haiti as an independent state provoked mixed reactions in the United States. This led to uneasiness in the US, instilling fears of racial instability on its own soil and possible problems with foreign relations and trade between the two countries.
US president Thomas Jefferson realized the revolution had the potential to cause an upheaval against slavery in the US not only by slaves, but by white abolitionists as well. Southern slaveholders feared the revolt might spread from the island of Hispaniola to their own plantations. Against this background and with the declared primary goal of maintaining social order in Haiti, the US attempted to suppress the revolution, refusing acknowledgement of Haitian independence until 1862.
The US also embargoed trade with the nascent state. American merchants had conducted a substantial trade with the plantations on Hispaniola throughout the 18th century, the French-ruled territory providing nearly all of its sugar and coffee. However, once the Haitian slave population emancipated itself, the US was reluctant to continue trade for fear of upsetting the evicted French on one hand and its Southern slaveholders on the other.
Against this, there were anti-slavery advocates in northern cities who believed that consistency with the principles of the American Revolution — life, liberty and equality for all — demanded that the US support the Haitian people.
