Abstract
AbstractHaiti's independence and development as a republic are important to the history of the early United States. The intellectual reconceptualization of the Haitian Revolution from a Caribbean slave revolt to a major Atlantic World event has led to a progressive change in the use of Haiti to enrich early U.S. historiography. This essay calls for more monograph‐length studies on the shared history of the early Haitian and American republics. The embrace of the rich historical literature by Haitian scholars, along with expanding research opportunities and analytical methods, can equip scholars based in North America to publish more books that illuminate the inextricable significance of Haiti's history, beyond its revolution, to the development of early American life and politics.
