Haiti Slave Revolution - BBC Radio 4
Melvyn Bragg and his guests discussed the Haitian Revolution on Radio 4. In 1791 an uprising began in the French colonial territory of St Domingue.

By 1804 the former slaves had won, establishing the first independent state in Latin America and the first nation to be created as a result of a successful slave rebellion.                                                         Listen to the full program.
