Expert Solution
Step 1

In a nutshell, the Haitian Revolution involved a series of conflicts that took place between 1791 and 1804 aimed at overthrowing the French government in Haiti by Africans and their descendants who had been held as slaves by the French and the founding of an independent nation led and administered by former slaves.

  • On the brighter side, the revolution triggered multiple slave movements and rebellions and instilled hope and pride in the African population.
  • It sent a wave of fear and caution across the white population around the world, leading to increased rates of independence fearing rebellion.
  • However, on the grey side, the internals divisions of race and class led to unstable politics of authoritarian nature which in turn paved the way for widespread poverty.
  • In contradiction, certain parts of the Atlantic world saw a temporary influx in slavery. Sugar production shot up in the Cuban plantations, and slave-states were carved out of from a number of French territories after the defeat of Napolean.
