America, France, and Haiti had various degrees of success when it came to reaching their initial political goals at the conclusion of their individual revolutions. The United States of America achieved a system of representative government, but the vote was given only to a minority of the adult male population, and slavery continued. The French ruler Napoleon Bonaparte upheld various of the reforms of the French Revolution, but not the most radical; additionally, he acted at his leisure as France was essentially held under popular authoritarianism. In the end, Haiti was the sole nation that achieved all of its political goals; at the end of its revolution, Haiti was an independent republic with racial equality and no slavery.
