•Known as Saint Dominique, Haiti was a French colony and the world's leading sugar
producer. It had over 800 sugar plantations and made more profit than all 13 American
colonies combined.
•A few French families made
huge profits from sugar, while
most Haitians, nearly 500,000
were African slaves

•Most slaves worked on plantations and they outnumbered their masters
dramatically. White masters thus used brutal methods to terrorize slaves
and keep them powerless.
When the French Revolution began, white settlers on Haiti called for independence.
Boukman Dutty, a Haitian slave called on the slaves to have their own revolution!
In 1791, about 100,000 slaves rose in revolt. They burned the
sugar cane in the fields and killed hundreds of slave owners.
The uprising touched off 13 years of civil war in which both
sides suffered massacres.
Toussaint L’Ouverture
Wanted to end slavery and gain
Independence for Haiti!
He was an educated former slave!
* Rallied slaves to revolt in 1791 –
Led armies against French, Spanish
and British.
By 1801, he took control of the
territory, freed the slaves and created
a constitution.
Led first successful slave revolt in New World
– Total independence for Haiti in 1804
Yes, of course we agree.. Why don’t you
come to Paris to discuss this further.
• L'Ouverture urged Haitians to fight to the death against the invaders.
• However, in May, Toussaint agreed to halt the revolution if the
French would end slavery.
• When Napoleon Bonaparte took power in
France, he decided to reclaim the rich sugar
plantations of Saint Dominique. In January
1802, 16,000 French troops landed in Saint
Dominique to get rid of Toussaint.
I want St. Dominique back!
We will stop fighting if you agree to
end slavery forever on St. Dominique!
• Despite the agreement, the French soon accused him of planning
another uprising.
• The French sent Toussaint to an icy prison in the French Alps. Ten
months later, in 1803, the Haitian leader died.
“In overthrowing me, you have
done no more than cut down the
trunk of the tree of the black
liberty in St.Domingue- it will
spring back from the roots, for
they are numerous and deep.”
- Toussaint L’Ouverture

After Toussaint’s death, Haiti was restored to French domination and
slavery was re-implemented. However, The taste of freedom that Toussaint
had enabled the Haitians to feel was not in vain. They continued to fight the
French in a brutal revolution.
