The Haitian Revolution

 

"The revolt began on 22 August 1791, and ended in 1804 with the former colony's independence. . . .The revolution was the only slave uprising that led to the founding of a state which was both free from slavery, and ruled by non-whites and former captives. It is now widely seen as a defining moment in the history of the Atlantic World."
