Haitian
Citizens of Haiti and members of the haitian diaspora.
Most Haitians are descendants of Africans who had been enslaved and brought to the Caribbean via the transatlantic slave trade. Escaped and self-liberated slaves, along with free people of colour, rose up against French colonial control of Sant-Domingue in 1791 in the Haitian Revolution. The independance fighters managed to defeat the forces of Napolean I, and Haiti became the only country in history to be founded by a successful slave revolt.
