The Haitian people eventually gained independence from France and became the first nation established by former slaves as a result of their struggle. The excesses of that despicable treatment were the very reason for the success of the Haitian Revolution: the treatment of slaves and Mulattoes in Haiti was so terrible that it prompted the most violent and eventually victorious slave insurgency in history. The Haitian Revolution was the first and only slave rebellion that resulted in the creation of a free state governed by non-whites and former slaves, free of slavery. This achievement needs to be remembered as one of history's major transformations in today's culture.
Bacon's rebellion led to the Colonists adopting slavery as the primary source for labor. Bacon's rebellion was led by a group of former indentured servants who were now free, without work, idle, and looking for trouble. With slaves they were never free, never looking for trouble, and never out on the prowl. After the 1676 rebellion led by Bacon, the colonies decided that black slaves from Africa would be the way to go, since they never got their freedom.
