Haitian Revolution

Après les révélations qui ont bouleversé leur existence, Rain et Redemption poursuivent désormais leur chemin, chacun de leur côté, plus seuls que jamais. Tandis que Redemption s’applique à empêcher la prophétie de se produire, en plus de se heurter à un dilemme très personnel, Rain devra se confronter à bien des ennemis, y compris le pire de tous : elle-même.

Historians consider the Haitian Revolution the most successful slave revolt in all of history. Though many fought in the rebellion, one man ensured their victory: Toussaint Louverture. With his political savvy and leadership skills, this former slave helped the inhabitants of what was then called Saint Domingue to challenge their French oppressors.

During the Haitian Revolution of 1791-1804, arguably the most radical revolution of the modern world, slaves and former slaves succeeded in ending slavery and establishing an independent state. Yet on the Spanish island of Cuba barely fifty miles distant, the events in Haiti helped usher in the antithesis of revolutionary emancipation. When Cuban planters and authorities saw the devastation of the neighboring colony, they rushed to fill the void left in the world market for sugar, to buttress the institutions of slavery and colonial rule, and to prevent "another Haiti".
