The Haitian Revolution ignited a wave of slave revolts across Bahia, Brazil

Evidence

From Haiti and the “one great militia,” which Du Bois183 and Genovese claim the white South constituted, the revolutionary tradition lit up the horizon of Brazil’s Bahia region. From 1807 to 1835, the chroniclers of Bahia recorded revolt after revolt: 1807, 1809, 1813, 1816, 1826, 1827, 1830, and the great “Hausa Revolt” in 1835. — Cedric J.
