Mr. Louverture Himself

One of the most largest most successful slave rebellions in the Western Hemisphere was the Haitian Revolution. By 1791-1803 slaves were able to end not just slavery but the French’s control over their colony.

The leader of this great rebellion was Mr. Toussaint Louverture himself!

On January 1st , 1804, haiti was renamed and declared independence. Haiti soon was known as the second nation in the western hemisphere(after the U.S) to gain their independence from a european power.

The Haitian Revolution!
