What role did the principles of the american and french revolutions play in the slave uprisings of gabriel and desmondes?

Just as in the American revolution the Americans were able to get independence and freedom from Britain by fighting with violence, so the slave revolts believed they could get freedom from slavery, by fighting with violence.

The French Revolution failed I am not sure what that has to do with it.

The American and French Revolutions gave the idea of getting free through fighting against slavery.  

Explanation:

During the American Revolution, Gabriel was an artisan who played a significant role by indulging among the urban workers who caused the war. He witnessed and took part in the battle to fight against the British in colonies to end their authority in America. After independence, the Republican ideology of the Revolution and the arrogant of the Democratic helped Gabriel ideas in leading a Slave Revolt. Gabriel was also fully aware that the French Revolution had served to start the slave revolt in Haiti in 1791.

the lowest among the social higher rank were the working class. this class remained detached to the political progression   of the country and was hostile to the other two classes

atman means 'eternal self'. the atman refers to the real self beyond ego or false self. it is often referred to as 'spirit' or 'soul' and indicates our true self or essence which underlies our existence.

there are many interesting perspectives on the self in hinduism ranging from the self as eternal servant of god to the self as being identified with god. the understanding of the self as eternal supports the idea of reincarnation in that the same eternal being can inhabit temporary bodies.

the idea of atman entails the idea of the self as a spiritual rather than material being and thus there is a strong dimension of hinduism which emphasises detachment from the material world and promotes practices such as asceticism. thus it could be said that in this world, a spiritual being, the atman, has a human experience rather than a human being having a spiritual experience.
