The Haitian Revolution!
The Haitian Revolution began as a slave insurrection and culminated in the establishment of a sovereign state. The major insurgency began in 1791 in the important French colony of Saint-Domingue. In part inspired by the egalitarian ideology of the French Revolution, African slaves staged an organized revolt, murdering hundreds of whites and torching sugar plantations on their way to seizing control of Saint-northern Domingue's provinces. The disturbance would last until February 1794, when the French government declared the abolition of slavery in all of its domains.And when Napoleon Bonaparte's imperial soldiers seized Louverture in 1802 and sought to reintroduce slavery, the former slaves organized a resistance movement once again!
Amazing, right?
By improving the transportation towards the west, there were multiple benefits, some of which are:
- economy;
Once the transportation was improved, the trade of goods was able to be performed very easily, and this contributed to the development and growth of the western economy.
- migration;
People were able to move much more easily and migrate to the west, but also the improved transportation meant that they can stay in touch with their families and friends on the east, so the west gained a large mass of new settlers.
- development of cities;
Because the economy was quickly developing, and there were more and more people coming in the west, new cities started to rise, and they started to develop and grow very quickly.
