Carrying History
November 18, 1803 – Battle of Vertières: the last charge
The Battle of Vertières , on November 18, 1803, was the last major confrontation between Haitian troops and the French army. Commanded by Dessalines, the native forces won a decisive victory that precipitated Napoleon's withdrawal.
Vertières was a moment of bravery, strategy, and national pride. It was also proof that freed slaves could defeat a better-equipped European army.
January 1, 1804 – Birth of Haitian independence
On January 1, 1804, Haiti became the world's first free Black state and the first colony to break free from a European empire. This date is much more than a historical milestone—it is a cry for freedom, a rebirth, a human victory.
On that day, in the city of Gonaïves, Jean-Jacques Dessalines proclaimed the independence of Santo Domingo and renamed the island "Haiti," after its indigenous name. It marked the end of slavery and the beginning of a struggle for self-determination that continues to this day.
May 1805 – Creation of the modern Haitian flag
On May 25, 1805, Dessalines officially adopted the blue and red flag , without the colonial white. A symbol of union between Blacks and Mulattoes, it embodies resistance, pride, and Haitian identity.
