When he was forced into exile in 1831 for his revolutionary activities, he began to recruit followers and organize uprisings against the rulers of the Italian states. His revolutionary vision was greater than Italian national unity. Mazzini's primary goals were the end of Austrian hegemony in Italy and of the power of the pope, Italian unity, republicanism, democracy, and the liberation of all oppressed peoples. He believed that, united under the banner of "God and people", Italians would succeed in ridding themselves of their various rulers and establish a democratic unitary republic with its capital in Rome.

Dessalines was born into slavery in the French colony of Saint Dominque. He then changed his last name to Dessalines after the free black landowner who purchased him and who he was able to escape. Dessalines’s skill and leadership were vital to L’Overture’s success in capturing the Spanish-controlled eastern half of the island, so L’Overture made him governor of the south. Dessalines tricked the French, into trusting him so he could regroup the insurgents and continue the fight for independence, he eventually won and when Dessalines proclaimed Saint Dominque’s independence, he chose the name Haiti for his country, which was the name used by the island’s original inhabitants.
