The Haitian Revolution was a series of conflicts between 1791 and 1804 that resulted in the overthrow of the French regime in Haiti by the Africans and their descendants who had been enslaved by the French, and the establishment of an independent country founded and governed by former slaves. It was the first successful slave uprising that culminated in the birth of the world's first black republic.

Ann aprann plis sou Toussaint Louverture

François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture (May 20, 1743–April 7, 1803) led the only successful revolt by enslaved people in modern history, resulting in Haiti's independence in 1804. "Toussaint emancipated the enslaved people and negotiated for Haiti, then called Saint-Domingue, to be governed briefly by formerly enslaved Black people as a French protectorate." 

François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture (20 me 1743–7 avril 1803) te dirije sèl revòlt la siksè pa moun esklav nan istwa modèn, sa ki lakòz endepandans Ayiti an 1804. "Toussaint emansipe pèp la esklav ak negosye pou Ayiti, Lè sa a, yo rele Sendomeng, yo dwe gouvène yon ti tan pa ansyen moun nwa kòm yon pwotektè franse." 

Let's break down the Haitian flag 

Ann kraze drapo ayisyen an 

The Haitian Flag is made up of two horizontal bands: a blue one on top and a red one below. Red symbolizes the blood and the sacrifices made during the Haitian Revolution, and blue stands for hope and unity. The slogan on the flag reads L'union fait la force, "In unity we find strength."

Drapo ayisyen an fèt ak de gwoup orizontal: yon ble sou tèt ak yon wouj anba a. Wouj senbolize san an ak sakrifis yo te fè pandan Revolisyon Ayisyen an, ak kanpe ble pou espwa ak inite. Eslogan sou drapo a li fòs la l'inyon, "Nan inite nou jwenn fòs." 

According to local history, blue represented Haiti's African residents while the red represented those of mixed European and African descent. However, other accounts say that Dessalines chose the colors based on the Vodun religion and that he happened to be in a Vodun temple in Merote when he created the flag.

Selon istwa lokal yo, ble yo te reprezante rezidan Afriken yo pandan ke wouj la te reprezante sa yo ki nan desandan Ewopeyen ak Afriken yo. Sepandan, gen lòt istwa ki di Dessalines te chwazi koulè yo ki baze sou relijyon Vodun lan e li te rive nan yon tanp Vodun nan Merote lè li te kreye drapo a.
