To determine the best answer that distinguishes the key causes of the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions, let's break down the options provided:
A. The American colonists were starving with no relief from the king, the French people wanted freedom from slavery, the Haitian people wanted control of their own government.
This option incorrectly attributes the motivation of the American colonists as starvation, which is not accurate. Furthermore, it incorrectly attributes the motivation of the French people to freedom from slavery, which was not the primary cause of the French Revolution.
B. The American colonists wanted to control their own government, the French people were starving with no relief from the king, the Haitian people wanted freedom from slavery.
This option accurately reflects the motivation of the American colonists for wanting to control their own government. However, it inaccurately portrays the French people as starving with no relief from the king as the primary cause of the French Revolution. The Haitian people's desire for freedom from slavery is correctly identified.
C. The American colonists wanted freedom from slavery, the French people wanted to control their own government, the Haitian people were starving.
This option incorrectly states that the American colonists wanted freedom from slavery, which was not the primary cause of the American Revolution. It correctly identifies the French people's objective to control their own government, but inaccurately attributes starvation to the Haitian people as the primary cause of the Haitian Revolution.
D. The American colonists were starving with no relief from the king, the French people wanted control of their own government, the Haitian people wanted freedom from slavery.
This option incorrectly states that the American colonists were starving with no relief from the king, which was not the main cause of the American Revolution. The French and Haitian motivations are correctly identified.
Therefore, the answer that best distinguishes the key causes of the American, French, and Haitian Revolutions is option D: The American colonists were starving with no relief from the king, the French people wanted control of their own government, the Haitian people wanted freedom from slavery.
