Revolutionary Haiti, 1803

Revolutionary Haiti, 1803

In July 1802 the black people, led by Jean-Jacques Dessalines, revolted against the French who had jailed the black leader Toussaint L'Ouverture and invaded the country. In February 1803 they proclaimed Haiti’s independence. On 18 May 1803 at the Congress of Arcahaie all chiefs declared their loyalty to Dessalines who tore up the French flag, threw away the white stripe as a symbol of the whites and had the remaining stripes sewn together as the first Haitian flag.
