📜 The Haitian Revolution: The Slave Society - The Haitian Revolution is a unique historical event in many ways. It was both an offshoot of the French Revolution, but also an anti-colonialist revolution. It was also the second American nation to successfully win its independence. But before we can talk about the Revolution itself, we have to talk about how influential Haiti was to France's economy and how it's complicated social structure primed it for revolt and revolution. Because here, in the colony built upon the countless bodies of the enslaved, sugar is king. But not for long.

The Haitian Revolution is completely separate from France and the French Revolution. It was a war against slavery so obviously native or African slaves had been fighting before then. They didn't include Makandal's Rebellion. It's the precursor to the Haitian Revolution were he and Boukman tried to poison the white slave owners. But it failed after someone was tortured for information.

EDIT: Another thing that is accurate is that a large number of the slaves that were arriving had military experience fighting in civil wars in their homeland. So the French colonist were actually importing a trained army.

It's TRUE. Even Simon Bolivar came to Haiti (under Petion) for help, twice.

I think my first comment to one of your videos, was asking one about the haitian revolution. It's finally here. Please do a good job, because the end of slavery forever started there.

“Haiti is starting to like the idea of a revolution, especially the slaves, who freed themselves by killing their masters. ‘why didn’t we think of this before?’”

I love the fact that we are talking about the complex social economical in global ramifications of slavery and the transport of slave labor without bias

I like how playing dumb actually helped the enslaved population. I would've never thought of that.

Every time you reach the ending I get goosebumps because of the music and narrative. So epic.

Really, I had a test on this yesterday! But I’m glad that they are covering this since it is so important but not known or talked about as much as other things in history.

Yes! I just listened to a podcast about the Haitian revolution. It’s sadly so forgotten but so important .

I love Haitians independence. I am so excited! I hope extra credits covers the bad in both sides. However they are known for bias unfortunately. For those who don’t know, after the Haitians become independent they burned the entire nation. All plantations and infrastructure. It economically crippled them and they still deal with it today.
