Answer:

The document that inspired the upheaval and tensions in French-controlled Hispaniola was the Gettysburg Address.

Step-by-step explanation:

In his Gettysburg Address, Lincoln vowed against slavery and to struggle to make sure that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.

This text, along with the ideas of the Enlightment and the French Revolution (1789) coming from France inspired the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804). This upheaval was an anti-slavery and anti-colonial revolt that ended slavery in the French colony of Saint-Domingue
