Summary
Toussaint Louverture led the Haitian Revolution, fighting against colonial powers for freedom and equality. Despite Haiti's rich history rooted in slavery, the revolution marked the first successful slave-led uprising, establishing Haiti as the first black republic. Louverture's efforts were pivotal, yet he died in captivity, never witnessing the ultimate victory of his people.
