The Haitian Revolution was a slave rebellion that began in 1791 in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, now known as Haiti. On this small island, the tyrants were the slave owners, people who not only denied their slaves freedom, but felt justified in killing them.
The Haitian Revolution began to change the way slaves were viewed all over the world. Although it took nearly another 100 years to eradicate slavery in the west, the parallels between what the Americans and French had done to the slaves was impossible to ignore. The Haitian Revolution was the first and only time that a slave rebellion resulted in a new state.

What's interesting is that you do not mention the amount Haitians had to pay France a lot of money to be recognised and how that is a major reason of poverty after Haitian revolution. If you wanna relate history cover everything instead of giving impression that Haitians had no ability to grow their country after colonisation while Western Power purged money and forcing Haitians to borrow to buy their freedom to France.
I mean just skipped over that whole part. Like it never happened. Can never tell the entire truth. And it's done on purpose.
And how haiti had almost a worse enemy than Europe amongst Hispaniola which the mulattos had their entire separate army and they despised toussaint loverture the majority of indigenous and transplanted mulattos held loyalty between Spain and France which they totally switched their entire loyalty to Spain after Napoleon double crossed toussaint and stripped him of all power and they knew he could do the same to them so the mulatto nation became modern day Dominican republic
did he mention how the US came and stole rest of the gold that the French didn't take? I doubt it. The comments keep me from watching BS like this.
@@raging_lawless_D right...
@@raging_lawless_D those names are extinct to us until you revive it😅
Notice, the narrator called Dessalines a blood thirsty leader? But you never heard him once say the same about any of the French blood thirsty killers that had the black people enslaved. That's what happens when you hear a western narrators point of view.
Well noted
💯
That's what happens when you hear a white persons point of narrations
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Beheadings_of_Moca#
True, they gloss over the horrors of slavery for what it was. The Mzungus were and still are demonic. They would break their slaves by violating men, women and children. There is no level of evil that they didn't surpass. We were warned a long time ago by a Wise Man who said the enemy comes to kill steal and destroy. Ever since the Mzungus left Europe that's all they have done, globally!
Isn't it interesting how they call it murder when black people are fighting for their freedom
Right 😂
I think they call that the European narrative.....smh!
👍😂
The American Revolution is also murder by that logic. And the French Revolution even worse
No, it's murder, when after you have won, you genocide all the White people on your island and then attack your neighbor and declare yourself emperor.
You left out that the French obligated the Haitians to pay an annual amount for lost revenue in Haiti and the this debt was sold to the US and to this day, Haiti pays the US for lost revenue. The US is keeping Haiti poor by not forgiving a slavary debt.
The debt was sold to the U.S? Lol no it was not. Haiti finished paying france in the 1940s.
@@M0schin00 The US took over that debt. And they tacked on their own wild interests to it. That is a fact.
@avocadoandtoast4016 The U.S didn't take over that debt. HAITI filed for LOANS with a french bank, that also included SOME American investors that imposed heavy interest. The U.S did NOT just voluntarily take on the loan. The loan sharks paid the french, while haiti had to pay the loan sharks. That was Haitis doing, not the Americans.
@@M0schin00 I'm of Haitian descent and your revisionist lies don't work on me. France and the US worked together on that extortion.
@avocadoandtoast4016 🤣🤣🤣 There go the buzz word "Revisionist" who told u I'm not haitian? 🤣🤣🤣🤣 Just cause I'm haitian that doesn't mean I have to live up to the lies we tell ourselves to protect the corrupt haitian officials that graped the haitian ppl for decades on end. I will NOT make excuses for the corruption of the haitian government SIMPLY because they're haitian. Thats not gonna fly.
Not everyone of European descent in Haiti were killed. The Poles sided with the Afro-Haitians, and remained in Haiti after France withdrew. The Polish descendants are still living in Cazale.
poles and italians and Irish werent considered as white until much later, even the Spanish werent considered as civilized by the English and french
Indeed, Haitian people were killing masters which were French. There was a story of a french who put a US uniform and he was spared.
The Germans were allowed to stay as well
Some were in aux Cayes, camp perrin. My grandfather is Poles.
Hatians
The Haitians fought FOUR NATIONS AND although poor THEY BECAME A FREE NATION!! 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽Yay!!! They said give me freedom or give me death and they meant that!!🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽
Im proud of my grandfathers! Stil have to fight today!
Haiti became the 1st Free Black County from slavery. The main reason why Haiti became poor is because they had to pay back for their freedom! Besides the main fact, they beat four (4) European countries, so those countries continue to make them pay...
Amen
There is no real freedom in Haiti, just grinding poverty, classism and poor governance.
Amen better to be poor and free than poor and enslaved
Jean-Jacques Dessalines was a freedom fighter who didn't tolerate white oppressors in Haiti at all.
Billy Jean got rid of the French poodles.😂
would you tolerate someone who terrorize you and your family and threaten to sell and rape your mother daughter and children
@sakurakou2009 You Haitians did that to Dominicans when u invaded. You enslaved Dominicans, they couldn't speak there language or follow there religion. You raped. You tried to use us to pay your debt to France.
@@Frederick101every leader fighting for their peoples freedom was.
@@Frederick101no he wasn't. You can't be a killer for sending demons back to hell. They deserved it, it's ok.
Imagine being so lazy that you get other people to do your work to the point that they massively outnumber you
Yeah, like the Spartans of old were outnumbered by the Helots and had to evolve into a military state to protect themselves.
It's happening in America now.
So.........imagine running a business? 😭😭😭😭😂😂😂😂
The French brought 700,000 African to the island of the Dominican Republic as laborers. People that were, mostly, low IQ's.
That is what I always say when they call US lazy. When they call us thieves I reminder them they are the biggest thieves history. They stole land, resources even human being. They even steal "artifacts" from dead people's graves.
You did not talk about the heavy debt the french negotiated to impose on the hatians. this is bias as regular . could have been complete.
Dont ever forget that the U.S. invaded Haiti in 1915 and stayed until 1934, sent by Woodrow Wilson.
And guess what?
It got worst even before the us intervention
US marines stole gold and transferred it to City Bank and wanted to reestablish slavery and the United States has always supported dictators in Haiti and until now destabilizes the Haitian people.
Because they love you if not ask Trump🤣🤣🤣

Just so everyone knows, Napoleon landed Haiti with 3.3 billion debt for this defeat to make sure it would be thousands of years before they recover. No other nation objected. You’re welcome.

Why can't Haiti just refuse to pay the debt?
@@jerryd.5385 Because Napoleon threatened to blockade then shell TF out of it from the sea.

very tragic and here we are 2023 and Haiti still struggling but then again, its people, the wealthy ones dont seem to want to help it out of the poverty.correct?
Very incomplete, and i would say partial, presentation that do not explain how Haitians were victimised before and AFTER their revolution.
Surely the colonial system wasn't ready to accept an independent and sovereign Black Republic.
And they still aren't ready now in the allegedly "post" colonial era: just look at what happens to Black leaders who do not comply, both on the African continent and in the diaspora, Haiti included of course.
Thanks for a video history about my country 🇭🇹 sure enough we'll rise again

Factsss
Biased narration to say Dellisanes was a blood thirsty
This video does a disservice to the Haitian Revolution with some of its inaccuracies...

@@ZonaCero-lo4il Let me guess, you're Dominican.
Never let the devil tell you his-story of you. It will always belittle you and glorify itself, as it does in this video. This basically says, “yeah, they can fight but that’s all they can do. They are not intelligent enough to sustain or run a country”.
Never let the devil tell you his-story of you. It will always belittle you and glorify itself, as it does in this video.
Two significant corrections:
1. All the events described in this video ONLY happened in Saint-Domingue, the french part of the island to the west. Throughout the video, the host implies this was the situation on the entire island when in fact, it was completely different in Santo Domingo on the Spanish side. While the Spanish also brought Slaves, their treatment was not as brutal/inhumane as the French did (I'm referring specifically to the Spanish in Santo Domingo treated the slaves, not about other parts of the Caribbean or Latin America). By the time the French took over the western part of the island and started bringing slaves, the Spanish had already started getting mixed the Tainos and the black slaves. The class/racial status breach was beginning to shrink, resulting in a more integrated society over time.
When the Haitian military invaded and took over the Spanish side of the island in 1822, they weren't targeting whites at that point. At this point, their goal was to take control of the island for political/strategic/economic reasons and they weren't as racially motivated as 20+ years before that.
2. The host uses the words "colonizer", "colonist," and "the French" interchangeably throughout the video which misleads the viewers as it doesn't provide proper context. At minute 10:00 the host says Dessalines killed "the colonist" and everyone from European descendants. This is incorrect since they only focused on slaughtering the French whites and mulatos/mixed. Revolutionists spared Europeans on the island from other nationalities since they had no business at all with them. Europeans from other countries were in Saint-Domingue primarily for business so they would come and go frequently. They didn't own slaves on the island. The revolution succeeded because they had one target: overthrowing/killing the French and the French only.
Good job nonetheless!
Don't become here,you don't know anything , illeterate
Hispanish side Neve existed, illeterate sudaca
Dessalines didn't kill mulatos/mixed people, he only killed french whites. The mulatos were among the soldiers carrying out the massacre. This is evidenced by the fact that mulattos dominated the government for almost 2 centuries
Ahh!
The spaniards were so humane that they mass raped their african female slaves and created a mongrelized mulllato country now known as the dominican republic lol
Spanish were just as disgusting you just don't know
Jean-Jacques Dessalines was not bloodthirsty 😑 Haiti has always been and is a beacon 🚨 of justice for the World 🌍
It's a gang riddled slum lol
Jean Jacques Dessalines was a liberator.
Dessalines had already killed close to 20 white men and women prior to meeting toussaint loverture...slaves would "hop the fence" at night and help other slaves escape or bring justice to overly cruel overseers and slave owners and then sneak back to their plantations before the morning
It has always been the Western ways of demonizing one of our greatest leaders. You also noticed that he never once described the enslavers as a blood thirsty group. Yet they killed numerous men, women, and children. Therefore, it is our duty to always protect/defend his greatness from outsiders.
I'm so sick of yt ppl talking about ourstory
🗣️ No wonder European countries don't want to deal with global descendants of slaves and racism when it comes to blacks. Because it highlights the barbarism of colonialism that European countries inflicted on people of color as a whole. Coming to grips with the truth in one's country's past should make people on all sides not bitter but better. The problem with hiding the truth is it always outlives lies. I'm just keeping it real. Anger 😡 and Fear😱 are identical twins. If you have one, you have the other. Just my thoughts. Be Bless ✝️.
What goes around comes around . Shortly here the European countries that had slaves will themselves be enslaved. The African nations and the areas (Haitien )of black islands will have those under their thumb.
@@aaronjones3284 they better never ever ever let that happen , because what they thought was bad would look like a day at the park .
Those ppl taught us a lot about torture and being heartless. I'd like to show them what the student has learned . I think I could out do them

@Hendrik Verwoerd I just understand the crap we white European fiends did to blacks. You and I ought to be ashamed of our race . 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭
Haitians, being slaves themselves and recently liberated, were one of the first nations who regognised the greek state, still at war and rebellion against the mighty ottoman empire. Greeks suffered for almost 400 under the turks and needed that regognition, while many states in Europe were still hesitant to recognise Greece, who was disrupting the continent 's antirevolutiory order . Greece never forgot the Haitian help and during the devastating earthquake a greek war ship, navigating close to USA was ordered to redirect, aquire food and medicines and head to Haiti. Greek rescue teams flied to the island and saved many lives. Actually a miracle happened when greek rescuers saved a poor guy who was under ruins for more than ten days. It was the least we could do for this poor country which still suffers and bleeds. I sincerely hope that our friends will manage to rebuilt their country that suffers from poverty and violence... Keep your head up friends!!!
Long life to Greece ❤❤
The narrator is wrong by saying General Dessalines was a "blood thirsty " .He saved other European lives by allowing them to stay in the island . Until these days you can see Polish and German descent in some part of Haiti. And this guy make a video about Haiti without mentioning the amount of money that the French stole from this country. Was it a conscious mistake or simply not informed of this fact ?
Indeed!
He did not save other European lives by allowing them to stay on the island. What kind of thinking is that? You murder every White person, some 15,000, except for a few hundred Poles and that somehow redeems you?
The French did not steal any money from the island. They owned the island and exploited the plantation system there. After the Revolution, they imposed a debt on Haiti, which Haiti accepted, rather than go to war with France.
Napoleon lost interest in Haiti? That's a lie. Napoleon was defeated by the Haitians.
HE WAS DEFEATED. INDEED.
The first ANTI CHRIST LOST.
.........
Some really good information here. However, some details were left out. For one, this was NOT the only successful black slave rebellion. Gaspar Yanga led a group of Africans to freedom against the Spanish 200 years earlier in Mexico. And also, Haiti was forced to pay France $21 billion in today's money as reparations for their lost colony. Add to that the decades of repeated sanctions and destabilization activities forced upon Haiti by the West and it's a wonder that the country is doing as well as it is.
Queen Jinga from Angola crushed the portuguese invaders. Why no one tells her story?
What about the present-day boycotts and military confinement by the USA? Napolian's surrender also led to the Louisiana Purchase and the westward track of the USA. Haiti freed the entire continent. We are ever so thankful for the bravery of those men. The Butterfly Effective of their actions changed the world.
Freed what are you talking about????? The revolution was not started by Haitians it was dutty bouckman who leff from Jamaica to Haiti and teach you all the vodoo and start the revolution
@@shawnrichards1393 you don’t know what you’re talking about
@@shawnrichards1393Wrong. Alot of Yoruba's where taken to Haiti as slaves. That's why Ogun (god of war) play a vital role during the revolution. No one taught Haitians anything, they brought their knowledge straight from Africa. I'm a Yoruba descendent directly from the African continent, so I know what I'm talking about. 👍🏿
@@shawnrichards1393 you sound very ignorant/dunb....by the way dutty boukman was an african from the Gambia. The only jamaucans in those times were the Europeans who gave the island its name, all of the black enslaved were africans.....after your socalled independence you chose to name yourselves jamaicans after the british/white jamaicans who gave the island its name which still makes you slaves of the british.....after all king george is jamaica's head of state and he has a governor general in jamaica that governs the island behind the scenes.
What boycotts? The US give a great deal of aid to Haiti each year $228 million per annum in 2021-22 and since the earthquake in 2010, more than $5.6 billion in aid has been given to Haiti by the USA.
Napoleon did not surrender to Haiti. The General and troops he sent to the island were primarily defeated by disease and left and Napoleon decided not to send any other forces given his problems with Britain and wars in Europe. He did sale the Louisiana Purchase to the USA though, likely much influenced by the debacle in Haiti.
Haiti did not free anything but half of an island, it then attacked and conquered the other half. The revolutions which swept the Americas during the Napoleonic Wars had nothing to do with Haiti but with Napoleons invasion and conquest of Portugal and Spain. When these two imperial powers were occupied, the colonies rebelled and lacking reinforcements from Europe, the garrisons in those colonies were overwhelmed.
You need to read more than just Haitian propaganda and mythology.
Ohhhhh my Haitian people you have forgotten who you are, we are a one of a kind people, freedom flows in our blood, lets unite ourselves and build our country, no more poor Haiti… they love to remind us that we are the poorest nation. Don’t believe them, their foot is on our neck constantly. It is time to wake up Haiti -the giant you are
They stopped singing and started swinging
“The United States occupation of Haiti began on July 28, 1915, when 330 Marines landed at Port-au-Prince, Haiti, after The National City Bank of New York convinced The President of the United States, Woodrow Wilson, to take control of Haiti’s political and financial interests. The invasion and subsequent occupation was promoted by growing American business interests in Haiti, especially The National City Bank of New York, which had withheld funds from Haiti and paid rebels to destabilize the nation through the Bank of the Republic of Haiti with an aim at inducing American intervention.”

Tell the whole damn story. Cause these Sebastians over here won’t leave them alone either. Don’t leave out the U.S. and its systemic racism and love for oppression of people of color.
The American occupation of the island was arguably the most prosperous and stable time of the entire history of the island post Columbus. That is the whole story.
Atleast the american occupation is "kinda" make haiti stable
Unlike now
You left out how the Polish were brought in to help and turns on the French to help the Hatians. Hence a Polish city there
No, the western countries does recognize Hayti's freedom, they have no choice but to recognize it but putting foot on our necks keeps them living lavish rubbing us of our minerals.
So did you really win 🤔
No country can survive complete international isolationism. They paid for being free and black.
And how can you possibly tell about the whole Haitian revolution in 10 or 15 minutes? Why the hell don't they tell the story and give it 2 to 4 hours ? because that's what's needed to tell just part of what happened during the revolution in Haiti. But that would be too right to do, so they give us little bits and pieces of the stories. When we should know the full story and that's how they rip black people off from knowing our history. By giving us little bit's and pieces. Hell I know more than this, so why cant we get the full story of the Haitian revolution?
CZcams english-language videos on Haitian history made by white people tend to suck anyway. They'll give you some truth but then they will mix it with lots of big lies and omissions and distort the overall story. Only good English-language ones I've found come from a Haitian-American youtuber who knows his stuff.
Of course you can't tell the epic story of revolution and several year-long wars in 20 minutes. This simply was a summation and highlight intro for those who may not know of this historic event. This is spark interest not cover everything.
Because people who dont know about this are clicking on a 15 min way faster than a 2 hour video, the 15 min video is to pull you in and if you want to know more you do your own research. Sounds good to me.
Wow, Haiti should be celebrated!
This is why no mention of this is in any history book in the west. From this moment on, I will honor and respect any Haitian; good or bad.
What an powerful nation! We need an movie of this or an Netflix TV series!
So the Haitians defeated the 13 Colonies (U.S.) The French, The Spanish and the British, Amazing

they are still paying for setting black people free in the Caribbean , they have the guts to stand up for freedom and equalrights. thank God for Haiti.
Neil Lambert. That is a fantastic revision of history. Of course they abolished slavery on the island. But they were brutal and merciless to the Dominicans when they conquered the other side of the island.
The brutal treatment which included the murders of men, women, babies, and rapes was the catalyst that propelled the Dominicans to wage war agaist the Haitians and pushed them back to their side of the island.
The Haitians come from some of the mightiest warriors to ever walk this earth believe it or not.

Yeah its pretty disgusting. There seems to be a bias here. I see this everywhere where black womens bodies aren't respected but white womens are held to a higher standard.
Anyone realize what Haiti and South Africa have in common? Who was in charge when they were wealthy and who’s in charge when they’re not.
You mean got wealthy by owning slaves? Why did they need slaves to get wealthy then.
What a ridiculous take. Then again what do you expect from a Eurocentric society. With complete honesty, you really think Haiti received a fair shake after beating the French. You really think the world was just willing to forgive and forget and allow a country filled with the people that they had the most disdain for enter the world's trading network and compete fairly? The answer is simple. Don't use modern views of racism but instead use your everyday human interactions and conflict, even those within your personal networks and community to draw that conclusion.
@@fleckcadeau2382 did some additional research and I’d like to retract my statement. Haiti was milked for their natural resources and left to struggle without any form of democratic government.

Haiti actually greatly contributed to the end of slavery and independence in parts of South America. Haiti sheltered Simon Bolivar and his revolutionaries, gave them a couple thousand rifles, gold, food, supplies and uniforms, ships and sailors, guerilla and military training and experienced soldiers and officers, on the condition that Bolivar free slaves in all areas he conquered, leading to the independence from Spain of what are now Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, Panama, Peru and Venezuela.
USA and France continues to battle Haiti in every aspect and front.
They make it invisible wirh a lot of propaganda
And russia
I would love it if someone actually sat down and tried to cover the whole revolution rather than working at summing the whole thing up in ten minutes. This was a seriously complicated revolution… like consider that the population was twice that of New England at the same period. So it’s not exactly a laughable thing that Haiti might have been able to expand there rebellion. And Let’s not forget the American rebels only had to defeat a single invasion force from one empire with significant assistance from another European empire. while Haiti had to fight the French, then the British, the Spanish and their was even a civil war thrown in there. In the end they defeated napoleons army inflicting a defeat seconded only to his invasion of his invasion of Russia. It’s extremely complex with alliances and betrayals, gains and losses over the course of ten years. Yet everyone sums it up as “slavery was bad, the slaves rose up, they killed the slave masters, they had to beat back multiple invasions, then they massacred all the whites.” Yet if you look at the whole thing you realize it was all so much more complicated.

Never let the devil tell you his-story of you. It will always belittle you and glorify itself, as it does in this video.
Wait, Desaline trained Louvèture, and Louvèture caused his death 💀 get your facts right buddy.
No he didn't cause his death wtf. Dessalines died at the hands of the next two Haitian presidents, Henri Christophe and Alexandre Pétion
You can't rely on these people for our history 😂
Now THIS would make a great Netflix show. Unlike that revisionist Cleopatra crap THIS show would be based in reality and that would make it better.
No mention of Henri Christophe, I think he ushered in the Haitian currency known as Gourdes.
And they have been doing an AMAZING job since then! Well done and keep on the good work!
Before the Haitians rose up against the French they first had to deal with the weak minded who were institutionalized and would have told about their plans before it got off the ground. In the 13 Colonies they made sure to weed out malcontents by heavy birthing to keep the African spirit from getting a stronghold over the people.
The snitches
Great observation just like the weak minds now the United States is full of programmed weak blk people tolerate any type of abuse
Isn't it amazing that no major motion picture was made about this revolution? It should be something of the epic scale of Braveheart. But Hollywood doesn't want to touch it. I wonder why.
Why would they empower blacks
with such a movie? Alot of history isn't given a movie for a reason.
@@gracelove4978 it was a rhetorical question ❤️
*whats an amazing documentary very well done*
We shouldn't forget the indescribable atrocities committed with unmatched cruelty by the Haitian revolutionaries against non-blacks (including women and children) during the emancipation process. Arguably, Haiti has been a pariah amongst the nations since then partially because of this.
But go-ahead and continue. We're watching.
The debt Haiti had to pay back to the French for whooping their ass is quite comical actually. If you ever wondered how would a European nation respond in the same situation look no further than post WW1 and the eventual escalation to WW2. When Germany had to pay back reparations to the allies post WW1. That action alone was the most prominent factor springing forward the Natzi party because the Germans felt they were being treated unfairly... and well the rest is history folks lol.
Haïti and Liberia : pure exemple !
They were not really free. Half a million slaves killed some 6k French living in the island, but then France put them in financial slavery for more than a century. Any real and serious media would be demanding France to return at least some of the $ they stole from Haiti for more than a century. This is not to say the Hatian politicians are not to blame, but France should step up and pay.
Bravo Haiti 👏👏👏
Those who lead us in to captivity judgements double said the lord Emanuel I.
anyone else wondering about the actual locals of the island? both the blacks and french were foreigners.
The Spanish went to war with the Taino natives. The natives had 4 major leaders dividing the island NSEW and they were fierce leaders n fought hard and rebelled against the Spanish but eventually lost and were enslaved raped & millions killed via murder & disease after Columbus settled there so many of them died there wasn’t enough to mine for gold anymore and they were deemed weaker which is why they decided to import African slaves instead it was De Las casas or w.3 his name was that preached for abolition for the Taino natives and to replace them with Africans. When the French came many of the Natives had already fled into the mountains and created maroon towns although some were still in captivity when the Africans arrived in the 1500s. Rebellions instantly sparked and many Africans also escaped into the mountains as well and created maroon towns too and often teamed up with natives in attacking the French when they could. By the time the French had arrived it was only some odd 40,000 Tainos left on the island compared to the millions that were there when Columbus arrived. I strongly believe there mixing with the European Spanish thru slavery and also potentially with Africans created the mix tone Dominican culture we see today. However that mulatto class highly became influenced by Europeans.
@@djstackademikzyep 👍
Haiti did directly end slavery in the west. We supplied Simon Bolivar with troops, money, and weapons which he in turned used to free South America. South America by the way, is also in the west.
New England ended slavery in the 1700s
New book, “America's & France's 1,000 Year War Against #Haiti (Ayiti): The Assassination of a Nation” 🇭🇹🖤👑
Napoleon didn’t lose interest he was completely defeated by the Haitians
Fake history.
Wishing Africa would help its long lost relatives in the America's we are rejected
Don't you think Africans have plenty of problems of their own ? 🤔
Yall aren't the same people anyways
@@ForeignBlasianLA we all are
@@ForeignBlasianLA you're a majority white man. stfu on this.
@@esaieprince what were Africans to do? They didn’t have the technology nor organisation to help. Even if one kingdom wanted to help they’d just leave themslevs vulnerable to their opposition back in Africa. There was nothing that could had been done africa wasn’t developed enough to formulate such an coordinated assault
yes ,since then they have lived in peace & harmony,...and will continue like that,thanks to their loyal & inteligent fellowmen
Why is this genocide not talked about?
It is talked about if you care to look in the right places when you reduce useless media and Hollywood frequenting
Not a genocide. But a rightful choice of action. Slavers don't deserve recognition
Lots of important facts, names and events were left out of this. First, France was not in "disarray" as the cause of losing the first Haitian rebellion - France put up an organized and vicious repression. After Haitians won, Napoleon reinvaded and France lost again. Then France, Britain and the US threatened to invade together and ransomed Haiti for all their wealth. That was alongside France's demand for "reparations" for lost colonial revenue and war expenditures under the threat of reinvasion. This low-quality vid is what happens when outsiders tell someone else's history. We should have a Haitian scholar tell us about Haitian history.
Why the Haití 🇭🇹 can’t be organize in this time? Always crying for help 😢😢😢 do you self
You will never seen a Hollywood movie about the Haitian revolution 😢
Worked out really well for them.
Kind of like Ukraine right
Every country that got rid of their colonisers descended into a boiling pool of shit afterwards. It's what you get when you leave them to their own vices.
So maybe they should've just kept on enjoying their slavery
This guy is a bonafide racist, not worth the effort folks. Thumbs down 👎🏿 and keep it moving folks.
Like all post colonial successes in Africa where the leaders love their comforts more than their people.
Why don't you mention when Haiti invaded and conquered the Dominican Republic or the future conflicts? You also don't mention how France essentially extorted them for over a century.
I don’t like false narratives about my country .
A Haitian Man discovered Chicago, DUSABLE IS HIS NAME. Haiti had to pay FRANCE because they wanted and fought for freedom; 🤬!! First Black Republic 🇭🇹 ❤
Didn’t learn this in school 🤔 would love a detailed movie like this, not glory with Denzel holding the flag at the end
The Haiti is the best
A great majority of slaves in Haiti came from a particular tribe in Nigeria. The Igbo tribe, the same tribes men and women that drowned themselves in the coast of Georgia the moment they realized what awaits them. At a point during slavery, the Igbo slaves were rejected because of their propensity to fight back. Till this day, Igbos are despised by the British, French and most European countries that participated in slave trade.
@@Orion-fp8tk And let's not forget how Nigerians are regarded as the con men and drug dealers of Africa by other African countries.
Respect to Haiti for what they did. Its very misleading to say that 4 nations were defeated. France gave up on quelling an uprising in Haiti considering they were fighting a war with England and Russia at the same time. No nation was actually defeated but Haitians earned their freedom which is very respectable. Remember, these were the world powers at the time.
France sent their infamous armada when they had powerful leadership under Napoleon. Organized funded armies versus the determined guerrila war army of formerly enslaved Africans. Who also fought other greedy funded european nations. *Haiti won* . Against all odds.
They were defeated, the vast majority of French troops that went to Haiti died there and never returned, the remaining only returned because Dessalines let them. Don't try to downplay francês defeat to protect their fragile ego, they got their ass handed to them no matter how you look at it.
disease did the french worse then the haitians did and its a fact napoleonic france was fighting most of europe haiti wasn't that important in the scheme of things....yes it was profoitable but they had other enemies...@@mixtapemania6769
@@mixtapemania6769 it was a french failure but haiti was not the priority in comparison to the major battles going on in europe at the time....hence why haiti paid a debt to france they weren't confident they could maintain there independence....truth is truth
@@CAM8689 Haiti payed the debt just to be able to trade with other nations and have somewhat of an economy (since France and all of Europe + USA had an embargo on them). They didn't pay because of a feared french re-invasion. In fact, when french sent ships around Haiti demanding the payment, Boyer's initial response was to pour most of the country's GDP into the military and prepare for war. He only agreed once France came at a more peaceful angle and the debt was reduced to 95 million. France got their ass beat by a nation of people without formal military training or quality weapons. Vietnam and Algeria would later prove again just how weak France is. Truth is truth.
