    The History of Haiti: Roots
    by Mikelson Toussaint-Fils
    After the arrival of the Spaniards in 1492, the native Taino population dwindled due to the hard work and diseases brought by the Europeans. To exploit the island's resources, the Spanish and French forcibly brought African slaves to Haiti. The slaves rebelled and in 1804 declared their independence, founding the world's first black republic. The majority of black Haitians today are of West African descent, with significant roots among the Fon, Akan, Yoruba, Igbo, Kongo, and Mandinka peoples.
    In this episode, we will take a detour through Africa to better understand the ethnic origins and history of the Africans who will take possession of the island of Haiti after the Battle of Vertière.

      I went to school in Giyana in the 70’s and 80’s and I took Caribbean History classes for at least two years. African history is part of Caribbean history. We also learnt about African American history.
      Some of my text books in high school were:
      The Making of The West Indies and The People who Came books 1,2 and 3. Then in Literature, we read about the Maroons of Jamaica etc. Caribbean History and Literature classes DO teach our history.
      I live in the US but bought those text books for my children to use for research purposes and writing papers while they were attending school in the United States.

      Fon people are the basis of Haitian Ancestry. The Kongos came later due to civil war and were mostly placed in the Northern region of Haiti. The Southern region have higher Ancestry from present day Nigeria. My father's side is Kongo, specifically mbundu, and my mother's side is Fon/Yoruba/Igbo/Edo. My mom side of the family have roots on Southern Haiti and my Father's side of the family have roots in Northern Haiti. Most diaspora can trace to many African tribes but certain regions will have more of a certain tribe than others. It wouldn't make sense and say Haitians are ___, when we vary by region. Same can be said about African Americans.

They didnt mention anything about judaism, being a huge religion on the west coast of Africa at one point in time. And how the European Royals sends Priest to get a control over them, and to teach Christianity. It’s important to study and investigate because history is written threw one mans eyes but if you have multiple eyes seeing and saying the same thing you have truth .❤

      @Shortyjored88 Год назад +1

      Yes, but although the Moors and Israel looked alike, we are not exactly the same people. We are both Shemites, but the Moors would have been the children of Ishmael and also the children of Keturah who was from North Africa and had children with Abraham. Ishmael and Abraham descendants would have carried E1b1b. This is why although there was peace between the Moors and the Brews for a long period of time, there became a division between these two groups eventually. We are both descendants of Abraham (but only the Moors who carried E1b1 downstream because there were also J carriers and other genetic mixture among the Moors due to mixing with Japhetic groups).
