The Haitian Revolution: Listen to the Voice of Liberty
They all attended a secret Vodou ceremony, conducted during a tropical storm. And when the enslaved people returned home, the rising began. Though free people of color were already pushing for greater rights, the dynamic had just changed—St. Domingue was now witness to the largest slave revolt since Spartacus. The conflict would continue 13 years and become a proxy war for colonial powers—but against all odds, the rebels of Haiti would emerge with their own nation.

Can someone remind me the current order before this?

Haven't had a chance to dig into it yet, but I was recently recommended CLR James's The Black Jacobins on this topic.

Oh Good! I always wanted to learn about it. This is awesome
For those who don’t mind getting the plot spoiled and want to get a head start on the topic. Mike Duncan’s account of the Haitian Revolution on his Revolutions podcast series (season 4 I think?) is well worth a listen.
So many great characters in this story, I don’t know how they’re going to fit them all in!
