The real turning point in Haiti's history was the Haitian Revolution from 1791-1804. The revolution was a slave revolt in the then French colony of Saint Domingue. It was the only successful slave led revolution in history and it culminated in he elimination of slavery and founding of the Republic of Haiti. Prior to the revolution, Haiti had been a colony ruled by France within the Americas. Its inhabitants were either slaves, freed people of colour and mulattos, or white-French colonists. After the revolution, no white French were allowed to remain in Haiti and were forced to move or be killed.
