The Haitian Revolution was also transformative on a global scale: it altered the geopolitics of empire in the Americas; threatened to disrupt the trans-Atlantic slave trade and plantation economy; precipitated a massive, global movement of refugees, and offered a powerful example of collective action, and hope of emancipation, for enslaved people around the world. The Haitian Revolution sparked off other slave revolts around the world - slaves looked to Haiti and were inspired by it. This era of slave revolutions can be seen as a turning point in the history of the slave system and the racial ideologies that supported slavery. The Haitian Revolution was the first and only slave uprising that led to the establishment of a free state without slavery and ruled by non-whites and former slaves. This feat needs to be recognized more in today's society as one of the marquee revolutions in history. Through the struggle, the Haitian people ultimately won independence from France and thereby became the first country to be founded by former slaves.
