The slave revolt in Haiti, which began in 1791, led to the establishment of Haiti as the first independent black republic in 1804 and the first nation to abolish slavery in the Western Hemisphere. The revolt significantly weakened French colonial power in the region and inspired other slave uprisings and movements for independence across the Americas. Additionally, it prompted a fear of similar revolts among slaveholding societies, leading to harsher measures to control enslaved populations. Economically, Haiti faced isolation and sanctions from many countries, particularly France and the United States, which hindered its development for years to come.
