The Haitian Revolution (1791–1803) seeking independence from enslaving French rule might be said to mark the initiation also of antiracist movements. Embracing the racial ambiguities of both American and French Revolutions regarding human and political equality and the Rights of Man, abolitionist slave revolts followed the Haitian example throughout the European orbit, marking most of the nineteenth century. — David Theo Goldberg, The Threat of Race, 87
