Kill Your Masters (The Haitian Revolution, or The World’s Only Successful Slave Revolt)

The Haitian Revolution was one of the most significant events in human history. Although continually eclipsed by the American and French Revolutions, which preceded and, to some extent, caused it, it irrevocably altered world history. It witnessed the first successful slave insurrection, established the first African-led republic in the new world, and had a tremendous impact on France, the United States, and the hemispheres surrounding states and territories. From its legendary beginnings in 1791 at a slave ceremony, to numerous interventions by the French, Spanish, and English, to the ultimate victory of independence in 1804, the Haitian Revolution can be difficult to follow and analyze. Indeed, many nineteenth-century officials simply refused to acknowledge that it had occurred and today we will be looking at this often forgotten event.
