The United States of America and Haiti were the first American states to win independence from empire in the Age of Revolutions (circa 1760-1840). Leaders in both states premised their independence on new sovereignty claims that challenged the constitutional structure of the contemporary international order along with the sovereignty claims of other political units. The United States, however, was more successful in realizing its sovereignty claims than Haiti, which was largely excluded from Atlantic international society and enjoyed only partial sovereignty. In other words, it was relegated to the bottom of an international hierarchy of states. This thesis asks why their outcomes diverged and what the implications were of their entry for the subsequent experience of other political units in the nineteenth century Atlantic World.By assuming conceptions and practices of sovereignty and hierarchy are interrelated, the thesis makes three main arguments about claims for and processes of state recognition. The first is that new political units are not independently 'sorted' into the international hierarchy of states. Rather, their entry is affected by, and has consequences for, other units. Second, the thesis contends that some new units of the international system are admitted as members through exclusionary processes, in that their foundation and entry into that system was predicated on the denial of sovereignty to others. This includes the United States, whose claims were premised on a white supremacist ideology that challenged the sovereignty of North American Indigenous societies. Haiti, on the other hand, became part of international society through an inclusionary process that promoted the ideas of self-liberation and self-determination of colonized and enslaved peoples. Lastly, I argue that the U.S. and Haitian wars of independence and successive attempts to secure recognition were both facilitated by and part of a shift from empire, direct colonialism, and a multitude of political units, towards a hierarchy of formally independent states.

520 $a Les Etats-Unis d'Amerique et Haiti ont ete les premiers Etats americains a obtenir leur independance de l'empire a l'epoque des revolutions (vers 1760-1840). Les dirigeants des deux etats ont fonde leur independance sur de nouvelles revendications de souverainete qui remettaient en cause la structure constitutionnelle de l'ordre international contemporain ainsi que les revendications de souverainete d'autres unites politiques. Les Etats-Unis, cependant, reussissaient mieux a faire valoir leurs revendications de souverainete qu'Haiti, qui etait largement exclu de la societe internationale atlantique et ne jouissait que d'une souverainete partielle. Autrement dit, il etait relegue au bas d'une hierarchie internationale d'etats. Cette these se demande pourquoi leurs resultats ont diverge et quelles ont ete les implications de leur entree pour l'experience ulterieure d'autres unites politiques dans le monde atlantique du XIXe siecle.En supposant que les conceptions et les pratiques de souverainete et de hierarchie sont interdependantes, la these avance trois arguments principaux sur les revendications et les processus de reconnaissance de l'Etat. La premiere est que les nouvelles unites politiques ne sont pas « classees » de maniere independante dans la hierarchie internationale des etats. Au contraire, leur entree est affectee par, et a des consequences pour, d'autres unites. Deuxiemement, la these soutient que certaines nouvelles unites du systeme international sont admises en tant que membres par le biais de processus d'exclusion, dans la mesure ou leur fondation et leur entree dans ce systeme etaient fondees sur le deni de souverainete a d'autres. Cela inclut les Etats-Unis, dont les revendications reposaient sur une ideologie supremaciste blanc qui remettait en cause la souverainete des societes autochtones d'Amerique du Nord. Haiti, d'autre part, est devenu une partie de la societe internationale a travers un processus d'inclusion qui a promu les idees d'auto-liberation et d'autodetermination des peuples colonises et asservis. Enfin, je soutiens que les guerres d'independance des Etats-Unis et d'Haiti et les tentatives successives d'obtenir la reconnaissance ont a la fois ete facilitees par et partie d'un passage de l'empire, du colonialisme direct et d'une multitude d'unites politiques, vers une hierarchie d'etats officiellement independants.
