Just to note, but that one didn’t end in a great society.

Not that Haiti was necessarily at fault for that, though. It was either brace for further conquest, or submit to incredibly harsh terms of peace that would still see the country stripped of all its wealth.

They could not have a series of civil wars, though. And the people on that revolt specifically using a more complex system to judge the civilians than “what is your skin color?” would have contributed a lot to help the country improve some decades after the revolt.
Of course, it’s not really something they could just stop and choose to change.
