This cane belonged to Toussaint L’Ouverture, one of the principal military and political leaders of the Haitian Revolution.
In the decades after the American Revolution, international events inspired and challenged Americans to think about the commitments and meaning of their own nation. Americans were forced to answer the question: how should the nation respond to aspirations for equality and rights around the Atlantic world?
The Haitian Revolution began as a slave revolt in the French colony of Saint-Domingue in 1791 and ended with emancipation and the founding of the free nation of Haiti in 1804. Nearly half a million enslaved people gained freedom. These events terrified U.S. slaveholders and other whites while they heartened African Americans. The United States did not recognize the independence of Haiti from France until 1862. A U.S. Department of State official acquired this cane there later in the 19th century. It is currently on display in our exhibition "American Democracy: A Great Leap of Faith." #AmericanHistory #BlackHistoryMonth #BlackHistory #AgeOfRevolutions #AmericanRevolution #AtlanticWorld #HaitianRevolution #VastEarlyAmerica #Haiti #AmericanDemocracy #NationWeBuildTogether
