Dates That Made History Season 3 Episode 12

Overview:
January 1, 1804, marks the end of slavery in Saint-Domingue, which became Haiti, thus separating its history from its colonial power, France. It is not only the result of a national liberation war, but also leads to the founding of the first state on the American continent founded by former slaves. This is a truly significant event, not only in American and French history, but also in world history. However, the price of freedom was exorbitant, and the country is still paying it today.
