The slaves of HAITI were the first to rebel against the FRENCH rule and become an independent nation.
Explanation:
French settled in Haiti in 1659 and became one of the wealthiest colonies producing sugar and coffee mainly, but it was all at the expense of the working force: the Haitian slaves.
Haitians lived in very poor conditions and were treated harshly, as a result over 100,000 slaves and black people revolted against their tyrannical rule in 1789 and the French rule started to weaken. The so-called Haitian Revolution lasted long 15 years, but the Haitians were the victorious ones: they defeated Napoleon Bonaparte's army and abolished slavery, becoming the only nation in the world established as a result of a slave revolt and the first Latin American country to rebel against France rule.
