The expedition sailed from Los Cayos, Haiti, on 31 March 1816 to renew the independence struggle in Spanish America. Haitian authorities and communities provided refuge, logistical support, and arms. Scholarship links Pétion’s support to a commitment that Bolívar extend emancipation to enslaved people in territories his forces liberated. Haiti’s revolutionary government therefore carried antislavery politics beyond its own borders. The expedition’s later military setbacks do not erase this internationalist role.
