Vertieres is the last battle, which ended the revolution against colonialism, slavery, and racism. This battle was carried by the two most radical revolutionaries: Jean Jacques Dessalines and Francois Capois, also called Capois-La-Mort. It marks the end of an inhuman and racist regime. Following in the footsteps of previous revolutions, Vertieres created the second independent Republic of the New World in 1804.
