23 Dez 1803 Jahr - final defeat of the French

Beschreibung:

The Haitian Revolution had repercussions far greater than establishing the second independent republic in the Americas
- a flood of white refugees to the United States
- These refugees spread the story of the successful slave revolt in Saint Domingue
- These stories bred fear among the slaveholding population of the American south, leading to new legislation strengthening the institution of slavery in America.

The fear of slave rebellion also spread to the other islands of the Caribbean
- This fear greatly delayed independence movements in the island colonies as the white population feared that they would be unable to suppress a rebellion without the help of their mother country.

The Haitian Revolution also caused the United States to double in size
- After Napoleon lost Haiti in 1804, he decided to raise the money he hoped to earn in Haiti by selling the Louisiana Territory to the United States.
