One unique aspect of Haiti's independence was that it was the first and only successful slave revolt in history. Led by Toussaint Louverture and later Jean-Jacques Dessalines, the enslaved population fought against French colonial rule and established the independent Republic of Haiti in 1804. This made Haiti the first black-led nation in the Americas and a symbol of resistance against slavery and colonialism.
