  • In the late eighteenth century, the French colony of Saint Domingue teetered on an unstable social pyramid. At the top of the hierarchy were wealthy white plantation owners who enslaved the vast majority of the island’s population: hundreds of thousands of enslaved Africans and their descendants. New ideas about natural rights swirled around the Atlantic world and reached the people of Saint Domingue-including enslaved people-and helped launch the most radical of the Atlantic revolutions. But the fight didn’t end with independence, as the new nation of Haiti continued to struggle for its survival and the end of slavery.

    What I don't understand though, is why Black African Haitians couldn't be the ones to explain the Haitian Revolution on this Video. The Haitian Revolution was carried by Black Africans fighting for their Liberation in Haiti, so the Haitian Revolution would be understood better by Black Africans from Haiti and should be explained by Black Africans from Haiti.

      Respect to Syria. With Haiti they won the war with 2 major Germanic empires ( France and Britain) and with the Spanish. All these countries lost a fair and square war with Haiti, but after the war, all major Germanic countries including America decided to boycott the Haitian economy and ended up crippling their economy indefinitely to this day. The same method has been repeated again and again in Mordern times. And sadly Syria is even a victim of that today.

    I cannot believe that this video doesn't tell the history, the entire history. I absolutely loved this video until it showed bias involving the slaves revolting against their oppressors. The slaves were brutally tortured and treated horrendously by their oppressors and they did kill the white inhabitants of the plantations - it might have started with fires but death did occur. Why are you apprehensive in regards to telling the entire truth? Who will judge them? They did viciously kill white men, women and children. It was a response to their horrific treatment. The Haitian Massacre did occur under Dessalines orders - that is not French propaganda. Unbelievable - bias is bias!! Educationally videos that are bias have no place in education.

    Dans ce pays-là, il faut tuer un président de temps en temps, pour décourager les aspirants. Punishment as an expression of indignation or rage is purposeless. Only if it can be reasoned to have a purpose in itself does punishment make sense. I'm not sure if there was a discouragement effect in the 150 m franc bounty.
    France had disposed of Acadia and Louisiana with relative ease, and quite a lot of stupidity. The "purchase" was demanded more to soften the financial blow of losing the "pearl of the Antilles". Just as British slavers were paid to relinquish their human chattels, just as Southern slavers paid with a war, just as Haiti has paid and is paying for the aftermath of what it paid, the Baby Doc legacy. What was the US doing during the 1915-34 occupation? Paying the bills?
    Good analysis, riveting lipstick from the professor, and a good line-by-line summary. Ripe for extension with:
    - Why did it take nearly 13 years?
    - What role did France's own revolution play as inspiration, inspired as it had itself been by the American War of Independence?
    - Jefferson is analysed as meaning "all people are equal under the law" with his "equality" statement; why did he not analyse the law as precluding "one law for some people, and another law for others", even if he saw each group as equal under its own laws?
    - The "all men are equal" bedtime fantasy has lulled Americans into a deep sleep: how did Haitians lose the solidarity that was key to repelling the French masters?
    - Did Haiti instead learn from the cynicism built into America's constitution?
    - What will happen to the exemplary solidarity in Ukraine, if peace is eventually won there?
    - Could Haitians yet bind together in this traditional spirit of unity, and throw off the ignominy of the gangs?
