C. It inspired them to launch their own political revolution.

An example of this was the Haitian revolution. For over a century, French had been ruled in the Haitian island (called Saint Dominique by the French). Although at the time, it was one of the wealthiest colonies producing sugar and coffee mainly, it was all at the expense of the Haitian slaves. Haitian had to endure oppression, violence and poor living conditions.

The injustices they were living and the news that came to the island of a French Revolution (1789-99), were inspiration enough to launch their own political revolution. A series of slaves revolts took place starting from 1791. Their fight for independence lasted 15 years but the Haitians were the victorious ones: they defeated Napoleon Bonaparte's army and abolished slavery, becoming the only nation in the world established as a result of a slave revolt and the first Latin American country to rebel against France rule.
