The Black revolt in Santo Domingo on 16th September 1802, as depicted in "Histoire Universelle du XIXe siècle" by Jean François Pourvoyeur, represents a significant episode in the broader context of the Haitian Revolution and the struggle for independence in the Caribbean. This revolt occurred during a period of intense conflict and upheaval in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, now known as Haiti, which was then one of the most profitable colonies in the world due to its extensive sugar plantations.

The revolt was part of a series of insurrections by enslaved Africans and free people of color against the French colonial authorities. The catalyst for the 1802 uprising was the re-imposition of slavery by Napoleon Bonaparte, who sought to reassert French control over the colony and its lucrative economy. This decision was met with fierce resistance from the local population, who had experienced a brief period of freedom following the abolition of slavery in 1794 by the French National Convention.

Jean François Pourvoyeur's account provides a detailed narrative of the events leading up to the revolt, the key figures involved, and the subsequent impact on the colony's fight for independence. The revolt on 16th September 1802 was marked by violent clashes between the insurgents and the French troops, leading to significant casualties on both sides. The determination and resilience of the rebels were emblematic of the broader struggle for liberation that would eventually culminate in the establishment of Haiti as the first independent black republic in 1804.

Pourvoyeur's work situates the revolt within the larger framework of 19th-century global history, emphasizing its importance not only in the context of Haitian independence but also in the broader narrative of anti-colonial movements and the fight against slavery. The revolt of 1802 is a testament to the enduring spirit of resistance among the oppressed and remains a pivotal moment in the history of the Caribbean and the Atlantic world.
