Haiti – The Only Successful Slave Revolution
Podcast: History of the Caribbeans | Exploring Resilience and CulturePublished On: Thu Jan 08 2026
Description: This episode examines Haiti’s revolution from uprising to aftermath, and the price imposed for winning it. It traces how the world’s richest slave colony collapsed under an organized revolt, how independence was achieved against global powers, and how that victory triggered isolation, debt, and intervention. The story follows Haiti beyond eighteen zero four, showing how punishment replaced chains, and how freedom itself became something the world demanded Haiti pay for. This is a country history focused on systems, consequences, and endurance, not myth or celebration.
