It is estimated that the Haitian Revolution had a total death toll of approximately 345 thousand. The majority of these deaths were among the former slaves, who rose up in protest against poor working conditions in St. Domingue, before the rebellion escalated and became a revolution. The high death toll is not only a result of conflict, but also disease (including severe yellow fever and smallpox epidemics) and widespread massacres on both sides. As a result of the revolution, St. Domingue's slaves won their freedom; establishing Haiti as just the second independent nation in the Americas, and the only nation in history to have been founded by former slaves.
