A.Because Haiti was no longer a central location for plantation-produced sugar, it instigated a shift in the geography of sugar production. The revolution goal is to eradicate or end slavery in the country thus sugar production is affected greatly because they need slaves to produce sugar. A lot of slave owners who are sugar makers and planters leave the country.
