\n \nExplore How the Slaves Freed Themselves in the Haitian Revolution\n \nThe Haitian Revolution was a slave rebellion that began in 1791 in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, now known as Haiti. On this small island, the tyrants were the slave owners, people who not only denied their slaves freedom, but felt justified in killing them.\n \nThe Haitian Revolution began to change the way slaves were viewed all over the world.
