Answer:

The Affranchis wanted equal status with the French aristocrats.

Step-by-step explanation:

Affranchis is the word used to denote a social class of freedmen who held an intermediate position between the white European colonists and black enslaved Africans. The term is used in most European languages for the former slave who gradually acquired some political rights in the slaveholding colonial territories, Saint Domingue, in this case, was a french slaveholding territory. though they have advantages over enslaved Africans, they were refused voting rights by french colonist and it became a major factor for the Haiti revolution against the French colonists in Saint Domingue.
