Answer 1

Napoleon emphasizes the importance that the Haitian Revolution cannot succeed by stating that France cannot afford to send a military force to Haiti, but they will defeat the rebellion eventually.

Step-by-step explanation:

In the Chapter 19 feature, "The Global Record: Napoleon's Letter to Toussaint Overture," Napoleon emphasizes the importance that the Haitian Revolution cannot succeed by choosing option C) Although France cannot afford to send a military force to Haiti, he asks Toussaint to call off his rebellion or face certain defeat after France dispatches England in battle. By stating this, Napoleon is indicating that even though France cannot currently provide military support, they will eventually defeat the rebellion with or without their intervention. This shows Napoleon's lack of support for the Haitian Revolution and his belief that it will inevitably fail.
