In 1776, the American colonists began a revolution, making clear the principles of freedom and rights outlined in the Declaration of independence. These ideas bounded back across the Atlantic to influence the French Revolution. In 1791 the ideals of the American and French Revolutions traveled across the Caribbean and the Atlantic to the French-held island colony of Saint Dominique. Inspired by talk of freedom, enslaved Africans took up arms and shook off French rule. In 1804, the island became the second nation in the Americans to achieve independence from colonial rule.
