The revolt in Saint-Domingue, which led to the Haitian Revolution and the establishment of Haiti as the first independent Black republic in 1804, had significant implications for the United States. It instigated fears of slave uprisings within the U.S., particularly in the Southern states, leading to increased repression of enslaved people. Additionally, the revolution prompted the U.S. to reconsider its policies toward slavery and imperial ambitions in the Caribbean. Ultimately, it also contributed to the Louisiana Purchase in 1803, as France, weakened by the revolt, sold its vast territory in North America to the U.S.
