The slave revolt in Haiti, known as the Haitian Revolution, began in 1791 and was a successful insurrection by enslaved Africans against French colonial rule. Led by figures such as Toussaint L'Ouverture, the revolution aimed to abolish slavery and establish Haiti as an independent nation. By 1804, after years of conflict, Haiti declared its independence, becoming the first black-led republic and the first nation to permanently abolish slavery. This revolution had a profound impact on the future of slavery and colonialism in the Americas.
