Casale Town, History of The Polish and their descendant in Haiti following the revolution War

- Here is the original version of the documentary Casale directed by Roland Paret in 2004 with the support of Fanal Productions. Casale is a small village of western Haiti where live to this day the descendants of Polish soldiers who came with Napoleon's army to fight the rebellion of former slaves. After most of them deserted, they acquired after independence the Haitian citizenship and they settled there to never return home.
Proud to be Polish...and proud of Polish Legionnaires who fought for freedom of the slaves!!
Yeah it was reaqlly impressive of them. Shows that those polish not only talked the talk, they walked it as well.
Pan Zagadka What do you even mean fool.. Evil Europe never saw us Poles as a real part of itself.. just cannon fodder (like for Napoleon) who would defend their weak asses from "barbarians" we have more in common with than them
Deserve Nothing Still you are dumber
Better to be dumb as a rock than have shit for brains .

You're just ignorant. Look up the etymology of Slavic. It has nothing to do with "sounding like Slave". That's the origin of the world cuz Slavics were enslaved for so long the name came from that.
My family are very much Polish and never left Poland. So learning this history about the Polish dispora in somewhere like Haiti is just so interesting. Gives a new perspective on the people and culture.

Iam glad that you are seeing and learning for your own self about the Haitian people.
Because the propaganda that the superpowers of that time published to the world about Haiti.
Was that . We were savages and killed all the white folks on the island. ( greatest lies )
We fought everyone who conspired to keep us enslaved.
Black and white .
And as you can find out those great polish people and the Syrians there had nothing to worry about as the evidence shows their lineage continues on the island.
Skończyła się wojna i Napoleon Bonaparte nie miał pomysłu gdzie podziać @@JUICE_PROPAGANDA_CEO i 2 legię Naddunajską i wymyslił wysłanie ich do tłumienia revolty niewolników na Haiti.Ponieważ Napoleon upadł Francuzów częśc ewakuowano,część poległo,część uciekło na Kubę a a o Polaków nie było komu zadbać.fakt że przeszli na stronę powstańców ale pozostało ich zaledwie 400 z 2000 których część musiała uciekać w góry gdyż czarni doszli do wniosku że będzie cudownie gdy wyrżna wszystkich białych.Tą politykę prowadził również Duvalier i Papa Doc.Wzruszające jest widzieć niebieskookie mulatki i mężczyzn mających słowiańskie twarze-ale koloniści niszczyli na swojej drodze miliony myśląc tylko o zyskach a nas wrabiają w rasizm i to kto Anglicy,Hiszpanie,Francuzi Niemcy,,,wspaniali Holendrzy Belgowie (!),,,Portugalczycy,Włosi,nawet Szwedzi ,Duńczycy nazywający nas rasistami!!!Ubabrani po łokcie w krwi i pocie niewolników .Byłem na Haiti kilkakrotnie w Port au Prince i pytałem o potomków legionistów a tu proszę więcej można dowiedzieć się w YT,Lepszą drogę wybrała sąsiednia Dominikana,Brazylia czy Kuba gdzie prowadziło to do symbiozy wszystkich.To Francja powinna pomóc Haiti a nie Polska !!!
To przecież znana historia. Nie trzeba było żyć w antycznej Grecji, żeby znać Platona, no nie :-) ? Cudze chwalicie, swego nie znacie… A my Polacy mamy piękna historię walki o wolność i sprawiedliwość!

I am a descendant of Polish mercenary, General CZAYKOWSKI, who came to Haiti with the French before the war of Independence in Haiti, and who took the side of the slaves toward liberty. Not all the Polish of the time settled in Casale. Some have actually merged into Haitian society and have become quite successful. Poukisa yo fe reportage sou Polonais Casale selment.

My Other Pa was a Polish Officer. After the War, He once stood up to a soviet asshole. He showed up to a 'meeting' with them in full Polish Oficerski Uniform - including a Pistol.
Got stripped of everything! Including Medals and Benefits. He died a poor Man.

I WENT TO CASALE ONCE, IT'S A NICE PLACE. PEOPLE ARE VERY FRIENDLY OVER THERE ...I HOPE THEY DO SOMETHING FOR THOSE PEOPLE
This looks like such a nice documentary but sadly I don't speak French. Do you have a version with English subtitle's? I would love to see it id you do. This is an important part of American history that I would love to know about.
@Dominik Bazula it is American history, America is a continent, not a country.
Sceptic Misanthrope, they fabricated this story to lesson the haitian heroes braveness. google the great deceit: the Polish legion in haiti. I have nothing against Polish people, but it is my duty to expose the lie's of those who try to lessen my ancestor's for they own benefit's. do you know what napoleon would of done to Poland if the poles betrayed him like that. really, think about it, not 10 percent or 20 percent of the polish legion, but out of a legion of 5000, after they had lost 4500 of they men, they decided to switch side and betrayed napoleon for us haitian's, really. google the great deceit: the Polish legion in haiti. the more haitian youtuber's learn the truth, the more this fabricated story will be expose to mockery. anybody in they right mind will ask themself this question, why would they had risk not only they lives but they family lives in Poland with napoleon for us haitian's?
rosey312 This is in both French and Creole.
@@josephlindor3708 I did not find any sources on that, how can a few hundred or thousands of Poles lessen anyone's glory... You have wrong priorities, glory is not important. People fight because they believe in something, and that's important. It would be best if everyone fought for the right things, even if that meant everyone would have almost no glory - glory means nothing.
@@kshinji they were 5000 in the beginning, but after their lost 4500, they saw no other way out but to surrendered, and they did just that.there's not one history book regarding this fabricated history here, not one.the only book you'll find is on their surrendered.and it has been two hundred and fourteen year's, not one book. do your research, stop believing on fabricated story that's benefit you.google the great deceit: the Polish legion in haiti.
Greetings from Poland :)
Camo Mile, this is a fabricated story. google the great deceit: the Polish legion in haiti.
@@josephlindor3708 i dont think so
Camo Mile, fact's is fact's. get out of here with ya'll bull crap story. do you know what would of happened to Poland back then if the Polish mercenaries had betrayed napoleon like that? the Polish were a legion of 5000 when they got to haiti, and they had lost 4500 out of 5000, they had no other choice but to surrendered and that is exactly what they did. dessaline got them surrendered in cap haitian. it is really ignorant and dishonest for anybody to believe this fabricated story. the Polish mercenaries treated the slave's no different than the french did. I'm not anti Polish at all, I don't even know any Polish, why would I be anti ya'll, I just done my research and found about this bogus story. sorry to disappoint you, but fact is fact.
@@josephlindor3708 I am from Poland and I heard about these black Poles from Haiti for the first time in the 1980s. They welcomed the Polish pope to Haiti and the media reported about it in my country. No, this is not a fabricated story - they exist. Many of them have typically Polish-Slavic facial features. They don't look like the descendants of the French or Spaniards and Africans - their faces reveal that Slav blood flows in their veins.
Bandog Traa, I know that they're Polish haitian's, but what that have to do with the great deceit: the Polish legion in haiti. go read it yourself and find out the truth. the Polish mercenaries surrendered in cap haitian to saved they own lives. they were a legion of 5000 and the haitian worrior's had put down 4500 of them, the poles were so inspired by the haitian worries and see's no other way out but to surrendered. can you blame them, after they watched napoleon best soldier's dropped and only 500 of the poles themselves left, what other choice did they have. after the poles surrendered, the haitian emperor jean jack Dessalines told the poles, I understand your situation and you were under pressure from napoleon to be here and, I will spare your lives, so if you choose to stay in haiti I will give you permission to stay and those of you who choose to go back to france, I will arrange your voyage. so, Dessalines did just that and that's how these haitian poles end's up in cazale haiti. so, I will say it again, the poles surrendered. they surrendered.
Poland first to fight even on Haiti
Paul Reil, this is a fabricated story. google the great deceit: the Polish legion in haiti.
@Plan Number2 Although a but exaggerated it is still true.
@@riahnonya6534 They had a choice..💀
The Polish Legion was used in Haiti as "cannon fodder" by Napoleon, who wanted to find a way to get rid of them, as there was unease in their ranks in France due to harsh duties and lack of payments owed as well as many of them being sympathetic towards the Jacobins. Whilst in Haiti they were poorly outfitted and armed, given onerous or odious duties and poorly paid. The Haitians made overtures to several of the mercenary troops especially the Poles, Swiss and Germans as many were from the lowest classes or forcibly conscripted, and many defected to the rebels' side.

Gdzie te dziady nasze musiały się tułać po świecie za naszą wolność.
I don't know why there are haters commenting in a hard line, nonsensical manner. Much has been written on the subject and there are many sources. Let the Polish be proud. Let the Polish-Haitian descendants be proud. One must read about the plight of the Polish before the Haitian revolution to understand what really happened with the Polish and why Dessalines protected them in Article 13 of the Haitian Constitution. The poorer soldiers escaped into the mountains and Casale and were more isolated. Those closer to Dessalines were more privileged and less isolated. Dessalines new their history and of their being unwilling and forced to fight, and he sympathised with them because he had to make tough choices and defect, changed sides also. At one time Dessalines was in the French army against the Spaniards and English. Dessalines did a lot of the killing for the French and was praised as the butcher of the blacks in a letter from Leclerc to Napoleon.
Thanks for posting this documentary.

The story is very true. Francois Duvalier and his Tonton Macoute army did not like people with fair skin. There is documentary called les Vèpres de Jéremie where Duvalier ordered the hunting of light skinned men--particularly in Jeremie. The operation took place mostly at night where army of men drove in the remote areas to hunt light skin men. They called them Kamokin--don't know what that means, but a Kamokin was also an anti Duvalierist.
Nerema Nerma what yeah right you got it backwards
Unfortunately Duvalier was a colorist. You also have to remember that in Duvalier's time(it still exits a little bit now) there were many people light skinned people who were colorist against dark skinned people. Still I agree that light skinned people and dark skinned people are both black and we should co-exist and put all the colorist nonsense aside.
@@rouskeycarpel1436
Eurasians like in some russian republics are not "yellow" people like chinese. They are multiethnic.
And afroeuropeans so to say, are also not "black" but multiethnic.
There is nothing bad about that, its only a problem within a racist context.
And besides that. Its only an american united states phenomen to perceive mixed race as black. The reason for that was that the notion became a notion of class, not of ethnicity.
Because fact is that in the united states everyone with even little african roots was seen as a slave in the south.
While opposite to that, in haiti the mixed race sons of the planter aristocracy followed into the footsteps of their fathers. A large portion of the wealthy creoles in haiti where mixed race people. Similar to the united states southern aristiocracy there were large oppulent ball events during the season but other than in the US of course, mixed race ladies and white french ladies competed on who organized the most glamourous ball event, and of course in a friendly manner.
And in France, black people or mixed people were called "americans".
And some historians say that in brazil in the early times many second and third generation planter aristocrats were of mixed african, portuguese and native ancestry.
My family fled Jérémie. We're mostly light and fair skinned, and I often wondered if our fleeing may have had something to do with it. When I ask questions about it, my mum gets rather annoyed and she really doesn't offer any details.
If you would be so kind as to share a link to this documentary, I would be very much obliged to you. Cheers.

google the great deceit: the Polish legion in haiti. your polish trick won't work.
Devil Slayer The Saint Of Killers !, the question you need to ask yourself, why would a whole legion put they country In such of risk for us haitian's.do you know what napoleon would of done to Poland if those mercenaries did that. so, you rather believe this lie instead of the truth. and why would I be anti Polish? I have the right to expose those who trying lessen my ancestor's braveness for they own gain. did you know that the Polish mercenaries were a legion of 5000 when they got to haiti, and it was after they had lost 4500 of they legion they realize surrendered was they only choice. so I should go with your lie right. the Polish treated the slave's no different than the french. read before you start cussing other people for telling the truth. did you really think they would of done this for us haitian's.
@@josephlindor3708 The true like always is on the middle. Poles were sent to haiti because Napoleon wanted to get rid off them. He signed a peace with Austria. Some poles joined french before because they hoped that he would invade poland which was occupied by russia,prussia and russia.After the treaty of peace they were useless for him. Later the war in europe started again and was up to 1 mln poles with Napoleon. In Haiti what you said is true but you forgot about the poles who deserted to haitian side before. Many individuals did it. Poles were against slavery. In Usa the polish general Kosciuszko helped americans with independence .He got as a price huge property and slaves. He liberated them ,dumbed the citizenship and went back to poland to fight for freedom. Poles had on the flags written: For our and yours freedom. There were poles fighting with haitians against french. The whole revolution was succesful because british supplied plenty of arms and blocked the island and deseases of course.
