The leader during the Haitian slave revolution, which spanned from 1791 to 1804, was Toussaint L'Ouverture. This former enslaved person transformed into a brilliant military strategist and political leader, spearheading the fight against French colonial rule in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti). L'Ouverture organized former slaves into a disciplined army, leveraging the revolutionary ideals of liberty and equality to inspire a successful revolt against oppression. His leadership was pivotal in achieving independence and abolishing slavery in Haiti, making it the first successful slave-led revolution in history. Despite facing numerous challenges and eventual capture, his legacy endures as a symbol of resistance and freedom.
