- This video explores the basics of Haitian history and politics to explain why the events surrounding the Haitian Revolution set the pattern for what Haiti is today. In particular it answers the question of why Haiti is one of the poorest countries in the Western Hemisphere. It goes through the US occupation, the Papa Doc years, Aristide to the current 2020 protests.
To have dared to have had a successful slave revolt- damn it’s so unfair. Respect to y’all Haitians
Haiti been through so much 😩
Being the black independent nations comes with a price
so u believe in Voddoo u live in fears and crime... u will never be productive .

One of the best videos on Haitian history. Good job brother
Awesome video, it would be cool if you discussed Mid 1800s Haitian/Latin american history as well.
We can't go back,we have to move on........

This was a very interesting video and it gave me a better understanding of Haiti. As a next door neighbour, being from the DR myself, I was surprised to see no mention of the 1822 invasion and the one island policy since it must have had an impact also, and still does to this day. I see you mention in a comment that you state this in the DR video, which I plan to see next, but I would love to see a video taking this into account as well. Thanks
I know this is an old thread but from a Haitian history review the 1822 Occupation didn't do much for them except give a good reason to kick Boyer out. Which he does discuss briefly as a leader that wasn't trusted. Boyer sent troops to the leader who lead the strike for Dominican independence and that's it. If it was for any other intent, it obviously failed and did nothing for Haiti.
This Was Amazing Documentary. It Explains The Current Atmosphere Of What is Going On In Haiti Right Now.
No it isn't, and no it doesn't.
This video is so interesting and well produced! Well done
Thanks for watching!
respect to Haiti from Kenya
By the way these are NOT Haiti's name and flag 👉 HAITI, 🇭🇹 👋no no no...
This is Haiti's original name and flag
👉👉 AYITI, 🟥⬛ yes, yes, yes👍👍
Can you make a video of what was happening in Spanish Haiti aka D.R. during the 22 yr occupation. I noticed NOBODY likes to touch on the history of Code Rural on the island during haitian occupation.
No one wants to talk about that because it would make Haiti an “Oppressor” and not a victim. They spent 22 years trying their best to destroy the DR. Then spent the next 15 years attacking the DR border towns and cities in failed invasion attempts. They could’ve spent that time building up the country and society but they didn’t.
@@moe2459 I agree. This is one of those "Dont bring that up" subjects because it'll destroy the narrative thats been spread for the past decade about DR being the "Bad guys" in history.
They don’t touch that because it is all about others attacking Haiti. There is so much missing g here though.
It's a geat video, you deserve more likes
Rarely, "Kidnapped" by Europeans. Worse, Africans captured in attacks by their neighbors and traded to the Europeans for European goods. This by no means excuses the Europeans (6 countries for the most part), but help illustrate how terrible the situation became in West Africa.
Shut up. They were mostly very much kidnapped. Ur 1 of those history whitewashers that try to bend history to suit ur foolish narrative
True.
Why you have not mention of them gold & Irridium mountains & mountains & & mountains full . thats why they had slavery their. Not just sugar .
A very good and informative short documentary.
I'm a proud middle-aged Haitian American man from Flatbush, Brooklyn, and I have immense pride in my culture and history!
The only problem that I had with this documentary is that even upon victory over white supremacy and oppression, the narrator managed to make it sound negative!
I know that my ancestral homeland is suffering due to some of our poor decisions, (The United States has also made some bad decisions in its history), and I'm willing to accept that.
However, most of these problems began with white supremacy and continue with that to this present day!
We as people of African ancestry were and are still surviving this cancer, but the first indigenous people of this land perished.
This is how the video begins.
"Nationalists in many places often blame outside countries, whether the United States, Europe or someone as the ultimate cause for whatever problems a particular country faces. These claims are often exaggerated. But in the case of Haiti, they are spot on." I'm really not sure how you think the video makes white supremacist rule sound positive for Haiti.
@Crónica Panamericana
I didn't say that this video advocated white supremacy!
What I'm saying is that I didn't hear anything about the Haitian revolution being the most successful slave rebellion in the history of the modern western hemisphere.
Despite all the problems that Haiti has faced over the past centuries, this history is what makes me the proudest!
Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines were cunning, intelligent, and brutal!
We as a people fought as men!
Joe Biden was proud to sign some bullshit for JUNETEENTH, but I would rather celebrate TAKING my freedom rather than celebrate being GIVEN my freedom!
@@zroy9263 the Haitian Revolution is not the most successful slave rebellion. It's the only successful slave rebellion.
@Crónica Panamericana
You're correct! And this achievement has been suppressed from the world for a reason. This is mentioned briefly, in this documentary.
The majority of Black Americans are oblivious to this history. Even though they have praised THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY, Malcolm X, and Martin Luther King. Sadly, even though these great organizations and people made a difference, they were all illuminated.
Our successful slave rebellion changed the state of mind of prosperous Haitians like my parents' generations.
The economic oppression that France and the United Snakes Of America have placed upon my ancestral homeland has made slavery more appealing to a lot of people within the western hemisphere!
@@zroy9263 but it wasnt successful. Trying to convince yourself that it was ultimately successful is just a way to salve your egos to not look at the after effects critically
I gave this guy generously 6.5/10. He did not do any real research and just repeated some common tales found in many story books of tale about (not history) Haiti. He did not even name one source. The economy hasn't been that bad since the late 1800s.
Is the argument you’re making that I’m exaggerating Haiti’s poverty? Or that Haiti’s economy has been growing at a higher rate but didn’t trickle to people? Or something else?
Would you like some cheap rice with that?
Just looking into Hati since the assassination. Interesting video. So it would seem that all government becomes bad once power is established not just there but everywhere.
That's what's up
One most seek the lord God almighty to give one the strength and courage to forgive, listening to all the history of the Caribbean and other places it will put hate in one heart
Great, informative video. You included stuff that I didn't know about!
Tuff start to there Country the good thing is I have plenty of time in the future to turn it around
Excellent video. What is the name of the background music?
Haiti invade The Spanish side of the island in 1822, and take down all the economic activity in the east part of the island for 22 years, until the DR Independence.
the DR video makes that clear.
@ it should be made clear in this video since this is part of the Haitian history.
By economic activity, you mean chattel slavery.
We all been talking about Haiti the republic what about the empire of Hayti. We don’t need half of the truth we needed all the truth. The truth that Dominican Republic is not excited the land is called Hayti ( Empire of Hayti). One land not two and definitely not half of the land. Talk about the empire mentioned by the emperor Jean Jacques Dessalines

Duvalier...one man's monster is another man's savior. Yea Yea save it.......
so Haiti produced more sugar then Brazil?
What's the name of the song in the background??
It's a copyright free Haitian Kompa mix that I got from itunes, but it's no longer available so I can't tell you its exact name.
but it was similar to this:

Why isn’t la navase island portrayed as part of Haiti?
As with technological innovations/developments, if human spiritual-values alongside critical-thinking 'n problem-solving education are not included little chance of success 'n lasting improvement is possible .. .
465,000 vs 30,000 that's an easy win. Slaves were 15 times the population of the French.
We need our money back we need support to get it
Hello Haïtians from Martinique.
We look so much frnch part of st domingue
so hard n sad
LIES 8:16 *Please* explain how Spain continued to pressure the black rebels in Saint Domingue after 1794. I believe the Spanish were also freeing slaves, prior to the JACOBINS in the French Republic in 1794. And besides, Spain lost control of the east in 1795. They weren't trying to reintroduce slavery either. They created a black Auxiliary Army to UNITE THE ISLAND. To begin with, they had very few slaves. Let's be realistic. The fight for control of the empires in the West Indies came from the British. Especially since they controlled southern Saint Domingue for about 7 years, even after 1794. Let's be real. Stop downplaying Spain. I don't think you know history. Thank you.
Your introductionsry statements were terrible my man “often exaggerated “ no they are not... provide an example of a claim of outside involvement not ruining a nations democratic growth
There's plenty of former colonial countries that are now rich or upper middle income (Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Botswana, Singapore), many countries that suffered massive invasions or wars and are now rich (Japan, South Korea, Germany). And plenty of countries whose economic problems have more to do with internal mismanagement rather than outside intervention even when it exists (Cuba, North Korea, Iran).
BREEDING 😢,🙄 😮I didn't know as ManKind I could be BREED if I'm not mistaken well I thought only animals are BREED😮🙄😲 Let me get this RIGHT speaking before I COMMENT is not ADEQUATE @audiodictionary #breeddefinition
NO PUN INTENDED.. Love History
So the slave owners in Africa are not responsible at all?
Responsible for what exactly?
@ learn some history
@@dm-gg7ll ?? you're not making any sense. What is your claim exactly?
@ again I ask that you crack open a history book about slavery. Can you at least do the minimal amount of research?
@dm-gg7ll there's lots of people that leave vague comments that are inscrutable. If something is bothering you, why don't you say it instead of dancing around it.
👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾
We can not be quite about this anymore 😡😡😡🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
Bandis an Haiti yo ce ou ban salon, ce pou mangé yapgoumin. Bandis nan
Kisa wap di konsa?
Lose the hand. Slow it down and use it less or get rid of it.
Why you dancing around the facts ... usa and France are both to be blame for what taking place in Haiti..
And this os not a hidden info..
I'm not sure how you could have watched this video and think otherwise. The literal opening line is: "But in the case of Haiti, [nationalists] are spot on [in blaming outside countries]"
@CronicaPanamericana my bad, wrong video I commented on.
Was watching a series of que video on Haiti, likely video change to this by time my comment was sent...
As a matter of fact this video is 1 of best on Haitian history.👍
thank you@@willis23jm1
🇫🇷
😝
🇭🇹
Not as slaves but laborers, who work for slave wages, lol, what a bunch of euphmiestic mess this video is.
It's not a euphemism at all. There was a clear legal distinction that had some improvement in material conditions, but it showed nonetheless that the spirit of the Revolution was betrayed almost from the beginning.
Coming to the US illegally will yield the same treatment
I’m looking for the significance in your comment and can’t find any 😂
Everyone’s illegal here smarty
@@carleontafari is your family Native American? Mine are!!
I noticed the author keep saying Africans. So called Haitians are the Israelites according to the Bible. Their Biblical names are the LEVIS:evi (/ˈliːvaɪ/; Hebrew: לֵוִי, Modern: Levī, Tiberian: Lēwī) was, according to the Book of Genesis, the third son of Jacob and Leah, and the founder of the Israelite Tribe of Levi (the Levites, including the Kohanim) and the great-grandfather of Aaron, Moses and Miriam. The Hebrew Bible introduces Levi as one of the twelve sons of Jacob (Genesis 29:34), and hence the “father” of one of the tribes of ancient Israel. ... Rather, they are set aside for special priestly activities (Numbers 1:47-53), to assist Aaron (Numbers 3:5-9), and to be consecrated to Yahweh (Numbers 3:11-13).
Stop with that stupid shit. We are of African decent. Bet you are African American
@@inmyelementblue7186 Yeah the hotep shit is getting out of hand.
Facts 💯
This is because nearly 1 million of the oppressed people were brought from Africa and most of the rest were their children. Sooooo they were, effectively of African descent, just like the tribes that were there long before colonizers. The difference between those already residing in Hispaniola before colonization and those after is that one group traveled and settled voluntarily from African countries, and the latter group was forced.
I'm Haitian and this isn't true.
We all been talking about Haiti the republic what about the empire of Hayti. We don’t need half of the truth we needed all the truth. The truth that Dominican Republic is not excited the land is called Hayti ( Empire of Hayti). One land not two and definitely not half of the land.
