Equality had the greatest influence on the Haitian independence movement. The idea of equality among all people, regardless of race or social status, was a central tenet of the movement led by figures such as Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines. The desire for equality played a significant role in inspiring enslaved Africans and free people of color to join the fight for independence and break free from the oppressive colonial rule of the French.
