The Haitian Revolution (1791-1804) was a significant event that alarmed colonial ruling elites across the Americas and beyond. It was the first and only successful slave rebellion that led to the establishment of a free, sovereign nation. The revolution challenged the existing social and economic order, inspiring enslaved and oppressed peoples while instilling fear in slaveholders and colonial authorities about the potential for similar uprisings in their territories.
