What Happened In Haiti In 1804

In 1804, Haiti became the first Black republic and the only country founded by a successful slave revolution. What Happened in Haiti in 1804 follows the journey from Saint-Domingue’s plantations to Dessalines’s declaration, then traces the republic’s trials and legacy across two centuries.

Inside you’ll find:

• vivid scenes from the revolt and the war for freedom;
• lucid portraits of Louverture, Dessalines, Christophe, and Pétion;
• “Historical Sidebar” notes and Haitian proverbs that frame lessons in resilience;
• and a closing section on Haiti’s uncertain path in 2024.

The result is a compact, compelling guide for readers, classrooms, and book clubs seeking clarity on how 1804 changed the Atlantic world and why its promise must be defended today.
