Changes

The '''Haitian Revolution''' began when an [[Africa]]n priest sparked an uprising by 100,000 slaves, led by Toussaint L’Ouverture in 1791. [[French]] troops eventually arrived in 1802 to suppress the revolution, and tricked L’Ouverture into boarding a French ship where he thought he would be able to sign a [[peace treaty]] granting the colony independence from France. Instead he was captured and returned to France, where he died in 1803 in a French prison. Dessalines, a general under L’Ouverture, fought on for freedom on the island, and [[Haiti]] successfully declared its independence on Jan. 1, 1804.<ref>[http://www.conservapedia.com/World_History_Lecture_Nine]</ref>
