This study demonstrates that American and British arguments about the most effective forms of governance and political leadership impacted how Haiti's early leaders were presented to transatlantic audiences. From the end of the Haitian Revolution and the moment that Haitian independence was declared in 1804, conservatives and radical thinkers on both sides of the Atlantic used Haiti and its early leaders as central frames of references in discussions of political legitimacy. Against the backdrop of a vibrant and volatile age of revolutions, the different forms of governance adopted by Jean Jacques Dessalines, Henry Christophe and Jean Pierre Boyer were used by writers, playwrights and caricaturists to either support or call into question the legitimacy of America's and Britain's own forms of government. . 410 0$aPalgrave Studies in Political History,$x2946-5184 606 $aLatin America$xHistory 606 $aWorld politics 606 $aWorld history 606 $aLatin American History 606 $aPolitical History 606 $aWorld History, Global and Transnational History 615 0$aLatin America$xHistory. 615 0$aWorld politics. 615 0$aWorld history. 615 14$aLatin American History. 615 24$aPolitical History. 615 24$aWorld History, Global and Transnational History. 676 $a972.9404 700 $aForde$b James$0928816 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910427040103321 996 $aThe early Haitian state and the question of political legitimacy$92087448 997 $aUNINA
