Question

Which Caribbean country experienced a successful revolt by slaves in 1791 and became the world's first black republic in 1803?

Answer 1

Haiti became the world's first black republic after winning back their freedom.

Answer 2

The correct answer is C.

The Haitian Revolution started in 1791 as both an anti-slavery and an anti-colonialist rebellion against the French rulers, performed by self-liberated slaves. It started in Saint-Domingue, which is embodied within the current nation of Haiti.

It constituted the only slave rebellion that had led to the creation of an independent state, governed by non-whites and by those who formerly were under captivity.
