Answer to Question #315449 in History for Casey

Question

To what extent were the slave revolts in the British Caribbean successful?

Answer 1

The slave revolt ended with defeat, however, and many rebels, including one of the leaders Breffu, committed suicide rather than being recaptured. The most successful slave uprising was the Haitian Revolution, which began in 1791 and was eventually led by Toussaint L'Ouverture, culminating in the independent black republic of Haiti.
