 ==The relation of the French and Haitian Revolutions==
-The French and Haitian Revolutions are interconnected in many ways and one might say that it was [[Toussaint Louverture]]'s genius that enabled him to lead the rebels in [[Saint-Domingue]] (later renamed [[Haiti]]) toward their final victory over France through successful military, political  and diplomatic navigation of the upheavals of the outgoing 18th century, These upheavals of course were very much related to the emergence of capitalism as a driving economic force and the revolutions in countries such as the United States and France.
