First and foremost , the Haitian Revolution happened because the slaves got fed up with the cruelty they faced and they wanted all people to be treated with respect. Toussaint L’Ourverture , he was the leader of the Haitian Revolution and an ex-slave himself. He caused a slave uprising that freed Haiti from the French. In my opinion Toussaint L’Ouverture was one of the bravest man ever lived. Toussaint L’Ouverture was once a slave himself. Later in his life he was let go, he even owned slaves himself , which to me is kind of weird. He owned three different plantations. Even though he was living a comfortable and respected life , he couldn’t stand back and watch all of his people, his own kind get worked like animals. So risking everything
