It annoys me as well when people say the Haitians defeated the French because of yellow fever when in reality the Haitians defeated the French in a decisive victory at the Battle of Vertieres. It's a hard pill for some to swallow so they won't give Haiti credit where it's due. Thank you for sharing our Haitian history!

People can say what they want about Haiti. Won't ever stop our pride. Out of 500,000 enslaved Africans, 250,000 of us died. Never forget the sacrifice our ancestors made for our freedom 🇭🇹

Watching this from Australia. I knew next to nothing about Haiti before coming across your channel, and I've learned so much just from this video alone! Thank you so much for doing what you do

Haitian history is by far the most fascinating. You guys have been through some serious shit. I’d love to see Haiti one day. I want to actually explore the culture. Don’t know if I’ll ever get to go but I enjoy this content

Dutty Boukman was actually Senegambian. He was born in Africa, sent to Jamaica, then Haiti..

Been waiting on this

I'm a Haitian parent my sons are about your age you make me proud now I'm not too disappointed you will replace me to continue the fight.

I've been loving your videos! Thank you!!!

Love your videos 💙

When Haiti got its independence it was an empire and jean jack desaline was the emperor until he die in 1806 then Petion turn haiti into a republic.

Christopher Columbus was actually italian but he was hired by the spanish crown.

Thank you so much. Please continue bringing us our history thank you so much

Loved it 💕!!

Black indians? I am Dominican of a mostly African blood, but I can't accept that the original people who lived in this island were blacks, they were Tainos, that came from part of what it is called now Venezuela and were not black, because until this day part of that people still exists in those areas and you can see them.

Many french families still live in Haiti for example : the Vorbe family, the Buteau family,the Chavet,the Mellon family, Nadal family etc.

Your channel is dope I learned a lot from your videos

Thanks for this from Memphis ❤❤❤❤ ur amazing

I’m half Haitian “mulatto” and my ancestors aligned with slaves YOURE 100% right about there not being a white genocide

The Tainos were dark skinned just like how you have really dark skinned Dravidian Indians & Austronesians but didn't share much other features with West & Central African descendant peoples. They looked like Native Americans with dark skin

Amazing video 🇯🇲

Florida🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾. I enjoy your content so much!!! And That Energy within you as well a your Smarts!!! I am dating a Haitian man who makes me so happy!!!! Therefore watching your channel helps me with understanding The Haitian Culture!!! Thank you 😊 beautiful

Slavery in Saint Domingue was remarkably brutal. It had the highest death rate in 6Americas. About 1 million died in 100 years of slavery. The average life expectancy of a newly arrived slave was 5 years, as the planters deemed it more profitable to work them to death and replace them with fresh imports. Note that the agricultural output of the colony at it's peak was greater than the entirety of Spanish colonies in the Americas.

Loving the merch

Love how you break it down

Thank u glad to have met you

the native American (Arawak, Carib, & Taino) population was not completely wiped out. many of them survived by fleeing into the mountains. the colonizers couldn't follow them so they were able to escape that way

Fun fact. My relative wrote the national anthem for Haiti. Justin Lhérisson

This was a great video!! As usual & I recently found out about a native female chief named Anacaona. At the time Hispaniola was divided into 5 kingdoms. So if you do decide to make the native video it would be interesting to see what you find regarding that.😊

This is very interesting and and a connection to Mr as y grandmother came from that part that became repibliva

Vincent Ogé. the Ogé is pronounced Ojay. but Haitians will know who you are talking about. In French alphabet G is J and J is pronounced G. It's a switch. for example, the common Haitian name Nadège and it is pronounced Nadèj and not nadègue.

35:42 I watched this video twice! I watched it the first time, then watched it a second time just to make sure I understood what I heard the first time.

I haven’t watched yet, will watch when I can BUT even if our ancestors killed white civilians….. AND… America tells us there’s always casualties and black people are still in the fight and are still witnessing civilians be killed. So miss me!! Lol but can’t wait to watch!

❤️❤️❤️❤️ made it

Two schools of thought have emerged regarding the origin of the indigenous people of the Caribbean. One group of scholars contends that the ancestors of the Taíno were Arawak speakers who came from the center of the Amazon Basin. This is indicated by linguistic, cultural and ceramic evidence. They migrated to the Orinoco valley on the north coast. From there they reached the Caribbean by way of what is now Guyana and Venezuela into Trinidad, migrating along the Lesser Antilles to Cuba and the Bahamian archipelago. Evidence that supports the theory includes the tracing of the ancestral cultures of this people to the Orinoco Valley, and their languages to the Amazon Basin. The alternate theory, known as the circum-Caribbean theory, contends that the ancestors of the Taíno diffused from the Colombian Andes. Julian H. Steward, who originated this concept, suggests a migration from the Andes to the Caribbean and a parallel migration into Central America and into the Guianas, Venezuela, and the Amazon Basin of South America. Taíno culture as documented is believed to have developed in the Caribbean. The Taíno creation story says that they emerged from caves in a sacred mountain on present-day Hispaniola. In Puerto Rico, 21st-century studies have shown that a high proportion of people have Amerindian mtDNA. Of the two major haplotypes found, one does not exist in the Taíno ancestral group, so other Native American people are also among the genetic ancestors. DNA studies changed some of the traditional beliefs about pre-Columbian indigenous history. According to National Geographic, "studies confirm that a wave of pottery-making farmers known as Ceramic Age people set out in canoes from the north-eastern coast of South America starting some 2,500 years ago and island-hopped across the Caribbean. They were not, however, the first colonizers. On many islands they encountered a foraging people who arrived some 6,000 or 7,000 years ago...The ceramicists, who are related to today's Arawak-speaking peoples, supplanted the earlier foraging inhabitants-presumably through disease or violence-as they settled new islands."

Sister I'm with you preach.

I am from Barbados.

Those “Indians” were darker in skin because of plenty of sunlight and they ate alot of fish but your typical features existed those you find in asian and some what aboriginal i kno because im descended from both sides and one thing we good at is passing stories orally we talk about it more

Thanks for acknowledging the Haiti New Orleans connection. My family are descendants of the Haitian New Orleans migration.

I love watching this channel And she's beautiful it's a ➕!!

I’m jacmel just got back from Haiti and can’t wait to go for the summer

In Pittsburgh, PA (USA). Watch your videos ALL the time. Love your content. Can I be an honorary Haitian? 👌😄

Love you girl keep up the great work beautiful

New here and just subscribed to your three channels. Great content and you are awesome. You said something I've never heard before. If the voodoo ceremony was so powerful to kick the French out, why the voodoo power can't bring Haiti back to glory? Although I'm not a fan of voodoo and disagree with the claim that the slave used the devil to beat the French, but I do think that ceremony did unify them. It did give them a spark. With that said, It's absolutely baloney for people to say we are cursed because of that ceremony. That ceremony has been advertised the wrong way. I don't want to write a book here, but real quick. I did a Biblical research on that ceremony and it was fascinating. Believe it or not, Haitians are Levites if you know what I mean. That gathering was a call to God, not the devil. The slaves called the White god evil and they reached to God which they called the Good God (Bondye) hmmm. There's more to this, but I will stop right here. Please, check it out.

🇭🇹 bon bagay!

Mwen soti Louisiana ⛈💜

I'm Haitian American on my father's side, my Haitian ancestry consists of Native American (Taíno), European (Greek and French), and Syrian descent.

U change a lot long time

Christopher Columbus was Italian descent but great video and thank you there is so much information

Anybody know the name of the piano music in the background?

That lipstick color!!! ♥️

It’s absurd for people to believe that there were never native people with darker skin in regions with warm climate even if you look at the theory of Pangaea the warm climate still lines up with the current continents and islands and it’s even more ridiculous for people to believe that humanoids didn’t already inhabit the earth and to teach children this is insane

Most amazing thing is no one rat them out,or was not convincing enough.

Also I find people in the US really ignore bad spirits or people who are practicing things wether advertently or inadvertently either way it leads to darkness. I believe in a darkness and a light darkness being evil or hell and light being good

How did Black America or indigenous people of North America get our French

Slight corrections: 13:02 Although there are speculations he was from the kingdom of Aragon official historians agree that Columbus was most likely Genoese (Italian) He first landed in the Bahamas

The Haitians definitely did not kill every French person and there were French people who still stayed in Haiti.

Which books do you read to learn haitian history?

I am from South Africa 😊

Dallas Texas

Talk a little too fast. I had to slow down to keep up to really understand. Love video

just wanted to ass this. there are 15 states in the Louisiana Purchase. it wasn't only the state of Louisiana as we know today.

I want to go to Haiti but I don't know where

boukman was born in Africa and was transported to Jamaica. he wasn't of Jamaican descent

from Ghana living in Holland

Usa here

LIKE THE VIDEO GUYS🔥🔥🔥

I'm Jamaican, and am interesting in the lives of the Haitian. And why was Haiti history never been told.

15:52 the pulling up with threats to pay didn’t happen happen the way you think. The south republic by my understanding were ruled by the mixed children of the French who agreed to pay their families this money. When asking and threatening the kingdom of Haiti up north diplomats of French were killed.

I would like to know the voodoo events that go on and especially here

Florida

Let me tell you do you know the meaning coupé tête , boulè cay.

Voodoo has its ceremonies, christianity and other religions as well. It don't change anything during battle (maybe morale boost?). In my school history lessons were mostly about Europe. Now I really like learning about history and culture of other countries. I understand your emotions and how hard it must've been to make this video. Thank you.

Christopher Columbus was not of Spanish descent, he was of Italian descent.

Tainos didn't die off!! They ran off into the mountains or intermarried with the Africans decent.

Parents were born in Haiti, born in NY, grew up in PA

12:08 wait so you are saying the beheadings of moca never happened?! 🤦🏽‍♀️ it did happened.

Sekonsa Ayibobo Zoe life or no life 🇭🇹🇨🇺👌🏿💪🏿👏🏿

1492 Christopher to Haiti in mole st Nicolas Haiti.

Actually there was a genocide done, especially in the Sud😢

In Saint Vincent we had the garifunas who were the descendants of Africans and Native Americans. Im sure the same thing happened on Haiti resulting in the darker skin natives.

Nah desaline ain’t no snitch tousaint had tried to meet up for a peace treaty and he met up with the French when he was I guess going to French or on the way he was captured then so pretty much they flip the switch on him and captured him like that. Also in Henry Christophe book the same thing happen too but what Christophe did was he went to the meeting with the French but had his army surround the building and told them what’s up 😂 but yeah desaline didn’t snitch they straight up snatched him and they tried to do the same to Christophe. This guy also shows 2 books about it kzfaq.info/get/bejne/i7yqfdiolqrIdpc.html

Girl we straight Nat Turnered all these enslavers on a massive scale

They were Tianos not Indians or NA, but good job M!

Are French names like my name is depew my maiden name is

Solidarity with ayti

Amongst them black Americans or the indigenous of North America they used to barbecue or little infants

Christopher Columbus never discovered America.

You just mean the Native Americans in Haiti were likely to be African descendents, not all Natives throughout the Americas were African descendents?

i really want to see the video if taino ppl

Tell them girl 👧

My family is South American

My zoe cuzzins

interesting video but i doubt voodoo culture was invented by the French though and if I remember correctly the English wrote extensively about losing huge number of troops to diseases on the island to the extend that troops in the UK refused to board their ships.

I'm from Nigeria 🇳🇬

13:08 you completely lost me. Are you suggesting some peoples of African dissent first colonized Haiti and wiped out the pre-existing native population or they were the first people's to arrive there? Great video but the suggestion that the indigenous peoples of the americas and Caribbean were black is very conspiracy pilled.

You think if we were Africans Dessalines would call the army "The African Army" instead of "The Indigeonus Army" (Armée Indigéne). And "mulatto" during that time ment an Indian for example mixed with anyone else would be classified as a mulatto. The West Indian Slavetrade is recorded history that fits the so called trans-atlantic slave trade narrative. I'm sure there are a few Africans that were brought to Haiti, but not 500.000. I think there was about 40.000 slave owners and half of them were dark-skinned most of they fled to Louisiana after the revolution. It's a complicated history that has been rewritten by European historians over time to fit the African slave narrative. Columbus wasen't looking for India since India got the name India in the 1940's so thats false. It's called the West Indies cus native Americans (dark-skinned and light-skinned) were called Indians by the European. Jamaicans for example are the only country in the world that has a flag that resembles the Scottish flag. You can find out why in the book caled "The Negro Question".

Guyana 🇬🇾

By the way Hispaniola (Haiti and DR) is in America that our continent territory
