Haitian Revolution

1791–1804 slave revolt in Hispanola

The Haitian Revolution, also known as the Haitian War of Independence, was an armed conflict and insurrection by enslaved Black Africans against French colonial rule in Saint-Domingue, now the sovereign state of Haiti. The revolution is one of the only known slave rebellions in human history that led to the founding of a state which was both free from slavery and ruled by former enslaved captives.
