The Haitian Revolution, which took place from 1791 to 1804, achieved its primary goal of abolishing slavery. Led by figures such as Toussaint L'Ouverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, enslaved Africans rose against French colonial rule, ultimately declaring Haiti's independence and establishing it as the first Black-led republic. This revolution not only abolished slavery in Haiti but also served as a significant symbol of resistance against colonial oppression globally.
