The Haitian Revolution was one of the extremes of the human experience. It was the largest slave revolt in history and resulted in a bloodbath between the slave insurgents, white colonists, and mixed race people causing atrocities on all sides.
The largest slave revolt in history took place in Saint-Domingue, modern-day Haiti in 1791. The revolt involved almost half a million enslaved individuals and led to one of the bloodiest wars in human history.
Victims of a slave rebellion in Saint-Domingue recount the horrifying tortures and brutalities they witnessed, which would later spark controversy and outrage in societies around the world.
