Catherine Flon is regarded as one of the symbols of the Haitian Revolution and independence.
 She is celebrated for sewing the first Haitian flag in 1803 and maintains an important place in Haitian memory of the Revolution to this day.
The Haitian Revolution provoked mixed reactions in the United States.
 In June 1793 when the Haitian people, led by Toussaint Louverture, overthrew the French colonial rule and declared themselves an independent colony, it made the neighboring United States uneasy.
 The slaves in Saint-Domingue’s were able to observe the growing disunity among the white colonists and themselves.
 They realized that they would need to seek an opportunity to stop the tyranny that was being placed upon them, thus they took a stand and revolted.
 The Haitian Revolution of 1804 impacted the United States of America, led by Thomas Jefferson, instilling fear of racial instability in the US, and the possible problematic effect the revolution could have on the early foreign relations and trade between the US and the new independent Haiti.
 Thomas Jefferson realized that the Haitian Revolution had the potential to cause an upheaval against slavery in the US not only by the slaves themselves, but by white abolitionists as well.
 Southern slaveholders feared that the revolt might spread from the island of Hispaniola to the slave plantations of the Southern United States.
 The primary goal of the US was to maintain social order in the country, so the United States attempted to suppress the Haitian Revolution.
 The US even went as far as to refuse acknowledgement of Haitian independence until 1862, which was during the heat of the North American civil war; coincidentally the main causal factor for the war between the states was slavery.
 The second major impact that the Haitian Revolution had on the United States was on early foreign relations and trade that had been conducted with Haiti.
 The United States had conducted trade and commerce with the Haitian island under French rule during the eighteenth century.
 Haiti was the main producer of the United States supply of sugar and coffee, and once the Haitian slave population had broken from slavery, the US was reluctant to continue trade with them in fear that they would upset the French and the Southern slaveholders.
 American merchants conducted a substantial trade with the plantations on Hispaniola (aka the French colony of Saint Domingue or Haiti).
 But there were anti-slavery advocates in northern cities who believed that consistency with the principles of the American Revolution — life, liberty and equality for all—demanded that the U.S. support the slave insurgents.
 An extremely beneficial aspect and real estate triumph that resulted from the Haitian Revolution and impacted the United States was the Louisiana Purchase.
 Once Napoleon had lost his control of the land holding in the Caribbean to the Haitian rebellion, he felt that the French territory in the southern part of the United States was useless to the French Empire.
 The US was only interested in the New Orleans area; however, the revolution enabled the sale of the entire territory west of the Mississippi River for around $15 million.
 This purchase more than doubled the United States’ territory.
>Victoria "Toya" Montou (died 1805) was a female soldier and freedom fighter in the army of Jean-Jacques Dessalines during the Haitian Revolution.
 She was reportedly Dessalines's aunt.
 Toya Montou was not the only woman to serve in the Haitian army during the revolution, but mostly, the names of the female soldiers are forgotten; other exceptions are Marie-Jeanne Lamartiniére, who served at the Battle of Crête-à-Pierrot in 1802, and Sanité Belair.
Marie-Jeanne Lamartiniére (fl.
 1802), known in history only as "Marie-Jeanne", was a Haitian soldier.
 She served in the Haitian army during the Haitian Revolution.
Slavery in Haiti started with the arrival of Christopher Columbus on the island in 1492.
 The practice was devastating to the native population.
 Following the indigenous Taino's near decimation from forced labour, disease and war, the Spanish, under advisement of the Catholic priest Bartolomeu de las Casas, and with the blessing of the Catholic church began engaging in earnest in the kidnapped and forced labour of enslaved Africans.
 During the French colonial period beginning in 1625, the economy of Haiti (then known as Saint-Domingue) was based on slavery, and the practice there was regarded as the most brutal in the world.
 The Haitian Revolution of 1804, the only successful slave revolt in human history, precipitated the end of slavery not only in Saint-Domingue, but in all French colonies.
 However, several Haitian leaders following the revolution employed forced labor, believing a plantation-style economy was the only way for Haiti to succeed, and building fortifications to safeguard against attack by the French.
 During the U.S. occupation between 1915 and 1934, the U.S. military forced Haitians to work building roads for defense against Haitian resistance fighters.
Emeric Bergeaud (1818–1858) was a Haitian novelist.
 His best-known work, "Stella", was the first Haitian novel.
 Born in Cayes, he served as Secretary to Jerome Maximilien Borgella and later participated in a revolt against President Soulouque.
 Exiled to Saint Thomas, it was there that he wrote the novel "Stella."
 Marlene Daut has recently revealed in "Tropics of Haiti: Race and the Literary History of the Haitian Revolution in the Atlantic World, 1789-1865", that three Haitian journalists and writers from the early twentieth-century, Ulrick Duvivier, Frédéric Marcelin, and Louis Morpeau, suspected or more likely erroneously believed that "Stella" was actually authored by Bergeaud's wife (413-14, ftn.
 2).
 At the present time, there is no other known evidence that supports the claims of Duvivier, Marcelin, and Morpeau.
The Haitian Declaration of Independence was proclaimed on 1 January 1804 in the port city of Gonaïves by Jean-Jacques Dessalines, marking the end of 13-year long Haitian Revolution.
 The declaration marked Haiti's becoming the first independent nation of Latin America and only the second in the Americas after the United States.
 Notably, the Haitian Declaration of Independence signalled the culmination of the only successful slave revolution in history.
 Only two copies of the original printed version exist.
 Both of these were discovered by Julia Gaffield, a Duke University postgraduate student, in the British Archives in 2010 and 2011.
 They are currently held by the National Archives, Kew.
François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture (] 20 May 1743 – 7 April 1803), also known as Toussaint L'Ouverture or Toussaint Bréda, was the best-known leader of the Haitian Revolution.
 His military and political acumen saved the gains of the first Black insurrection in November 1791.
 He first fought for the Spanish against the French; then for France against Spain and Great Britain; and finally, for Saint-Domingue against Napoleonic France.
 He then helped transform the insurgency into a revolutionary movement, which by 1800 had turned Saint-Domingue, the most prosperous slave colony of the time, into the first free colonial society to have explicitly rejected race as the basis of social ranking.
The Black Jacobins: Toussaint L'Ouverture and the San Domingo Revolution is a 1938 book by Afro-Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, a history of the Haitian Revolution of 1791–1804.
 He went to Paris to research this work, where he met Haitian military historian Alfred Auguste Nemours.
 James's text places the revolution in the context of the French Revolution, and focuses on the leadership of Toussaint L'Ouverture, who was born a slave but rose to prominence espousing the French Revolutionary ideals of liberty and equality.
 These ideals, which many French revolutionaries did not maintain consistently with regard to the black humanity of their colonial possessions, were embraced, according to James, with a greater purity by the persecuted blacks of Haiti; such ideals "meant far more to them than to any Frenchman."
Suzanne Bélair, called "Sanité Bélair", (1781 – 5 October 1802), was a Haitian Freedom fighter and revolutionary, lieutenant in the army of Toussaint Louverture.

Question: Who's army was Sanite Belair a member of during the Haitian Revolution?
Answer: Toussaint L'Ouverture or Toussaint Bréda,
