The Haitian Revolution, occurring from 1791 to 1804, is known as the greatest slave rebellion in American history. This successful revolution led to the overthrow of French colonial rule in Haiti, ultimately establishing it as the first independent Black republic in the world. The leaders of the revolution, such as Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, organized enslaved individuals and free people of color to fight against oppression, leveraging their collective strength. The revolution not only inspired other anti-slavery movements but also had a profound impact on global discussions about race, freedom, and equality.
