Haiti is a country on the island of Santo Domingo in the American Caribbean Sea. After Columbus arrived here in 1492, Haiti was changed to a Spanish colony. At the end of the 177th century, French colonists seized Haiti. Hundreds of years of colonial rule almost killed the native Indians in Haiti. In order to solve the shortage of labor, colonists trafficked a large number of black slaves from Africa to Haiti. Therefore, black slaves became the main target of exploitation and enslavement in Haiti. The French colonial rulers held all the powers of Haiti and lived a life of luxuries, while the majority of black slaves suffered exhaustively in the plantation, which aroused the immense anger and resistance of the majority of black slaves.
In 1789, a bourgeois revolution broke out in France, which greatly encouraged the Haitian people. According to the principles announced by the French National Assembly, Haitian mixed races and free blacks demand full citizenship from France. In order to achieve this goal, in October 1790, mixed race leader Vincent Auch led 250 mixed races and "free" blacks to stage an armed uprising. The insurgents attacked the French colonists, burned the plantations, and defeated the 600 colonial troops led by the French navy colonel Madut. Since then, the French colonial authorities sent an additional 1,500 colonial troops to suppress it. The rebels finally failed, and Auch and the rest fled to Santo Domingo, Spain. At the beginning of 1791, the Spanish colonial authorities arrested him and extradited him to Cap-Haïtien, where Auch was finally broken and killed by a car.
Although this uprising failed, it marked the beginning of the Haitian revolution.
