Explanation:

• Option A: The French monarchy was overthrown during the French Revolution, not the Haitian Revolution. So A is incorrect.
• Option B: The Haitian Revolution was led by enslaved people and free people of color, and it resulted in the establishment of an independent Haiti, being the only successful large - scale slave revolt in history. This option is correct.
• Option C: The end of the slave trade was a more gradual process and not directly caused by the Haitian Revolution. So C is incorrect.
• Option D: The first revolution in the Americas was the American Revolution, not the Haitian Revolution. So D is incorrect.

B. was the only successful slave revolt in history.
