Don't forget the Polish! Napoleon sent a Polish Legion to go there to fight the Haitians. The Poles viewed France as an ally that would come to Poland's aid and hoped they'd support Polish independence, so they served in the French army. But when they were told they'd be stopping the Haitians when they got there, they chose to fight with the Haitians AGAINST the French. Haiti still has a Polish community to this day, with the legion's descendants living in the village of Cazale about 45 miles north of Port-au-Prince.

Fun facts: 1. Prior to the Haitian Revolution a future leader Henri Christophe served as a drummer boy in a French unit of several thousand free blacks from French Caribbean colonies including St Domingue/Haiti - the Chasseurs Volontaires - that took part in the crucial Battle of Savannah (then the capital of Georgia) during the American war of Independence. A monument to the unit exists in Georgia. 2. Toussaint L'Ouverture originally wanted Haiti to remain part of the French Empire but without slavery and with the principles of the French Declaration of the Rights of Man being applicable to all citizens of the colony. 3. Toussaint L'Ouverture was promoted to the rank of General in the French Army during the period after the initial slave rebellion and the abolition of slavery by France until Napoleon decided to reintroduce slavery and the actual revolution began. Whilst serving France he proclaimed himself Governor General and captured the Spanish part of the island, Santo Domingo, against Napoleon's wishes. He also successfully fought off invasions by the Spanish and British who were attempting to seize the lucrative colony for themselves. 3. Toussaint L'Ouverture and two other black officers served as Generals in the Spanish Army fighting against the French in Santo Domingo for a period. Thus Toussaint L'Ouverture was a General in the French, Spanish and Haitian Armies. 4. Wladislaw Jablonowski was a Polish General commanding the Polish Legions, comprised of Polish volunteers who fought under France in the hope that France would help their nation achieve independence from Russia and Prussia. The Polish Legions had become despondent about these hopes because they perceived that they were merely being used by the French without any intention of actually helping Poland. The Legions under Jablonowski, numbering more than 5000 were sent to St Domingue to fight the rebels, where Jablonowski died of yellow fever and around 4000 died from disease and combat. Several hundred deserted to the rebels side, and they and their descendants were made "honorary blacks". Jablonowski was the adopted son of a Polish aristocrat, his mother was the aristocrat's wife, an English noblewoman and his biological father was a black man. 5. Napoleon had planned that after putting down the revolution in Haiti, he would raise an army of battle experienced black soldiers from the colony and with the colony as a naval base and a source of funds use these black soldiers to help seize a couple American Gulf ports and carve out an empire by settling Louisiana and expanding it westwards to the Pacific. He had already obtained the alliance of 20,000 armed Native American warriors to start his campaign. The defeat the French suffered in Haiti however left him without a naval base, without a source of funds and without a sizable portion of French soldiers (from casualties in the revolution) and without his colonial black army. This convinced him he had no chance of a North American Empire, leading him to sell Louisiana to the United States. 6. Independent Haiti was the first country in the Americas to permanently ban slavery. In spite of agreements with the colonial powers Haiti provided refuge for all escaped slaves who made it to the country. They also intercepted several ships carrying slaves and freed them. The Haitian Revolution was the inspiration for several slave rebellions in the US. 7. Independent Haiti helped Latin American countries achieve independence. On two occasions after suffering defeat at the hands of the Spanish, the Latin American revolutionary leader Simon Bolivar and his forces were given shelter and refuge in Haiti. Haitian President Petion provided Bolivar with a couple thousand rifles, several hundred experienced Haitian soldiers and sailors, supplies, gold bullion and printing presses to continue his revolution, on the condition he would abolish slavery in all territories he liberated. This assistance helped what are now Venezuela, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Colombia and Panama gain independence from Spain. Venezuela erected several monuments to Haiti and Bolivar thanked the nation for it's assistance. In somewhat of a return favor Venezuela leader Hugo Chavez on two occasions provided intelligence to Haiti that Haiti that allowed them to stop two planned coups backed by the US and France. 8. Thomas Alexandre Dumas was born in Saint Domingue (Haiti) to a French planter and his black slave mistress. His father took him to France and raised hi as an aristocrat and enrolled him in the military academy. Thomas joined the military as a private, rose through the ranks to colonel and second in command of Europe's first all black regiment the Legion St George aka Legion of the Americas made up of black volunteers from French colonies in the Americas to General in charge of the Army of the Alps leading 55,000 French, Swiss and other soldiers. He later led the cavalry during Napoleon's Egyptian Expedition. His son was French author Alexandre Dumas,who wrote The Three Musketeers and The Count Of Monte Cristo. Dumas chose not to go to Haiti during the Revolution though., one of several possible reasons he had an acrimonious relationship with Napoleon. Non fun fact: Slavery in Saint Domingue was particularly brutal because the French found it was more profitable to work their slaves to death with minimal care and replace them with fresh slaves from Africa. Slaves were also brutally punished by mutilations, amputations, drownings, hanging, burning, being set upon by dogs etc. The average life expectancy of a slave after arriving on the colony was around 5 years.

Of course Haiti did some errors as well that have them in the situation they are in. Though every country makes errors at some point. I just think that if they weren’t so unfair with Haiti in the beginning years as a free country, they would have been a stable country. Nevertheless, Haiti is a country I respect a lot and I really hope things would get better for them

There are a couple of things that I didn’t fully agree with. 1) Toussaint Louverture wasn’t captured. He was kidnapped. Leclerc invited him to a meeting and they trapped him and send him to die in Fort de Joux. 2) Dessalines had given the white people the opportunity to leave, but they refused. General Rochambeau, after losing the war, was given safe passage along with his men. In fact they were given ships with canons to defend themselves against British ships they might encounter on their way to France. Rochambeau the cruel, once at a safe distance at sea turned the canons towards the people who had allowed him to leave with his life. You’re probably wondering why I called him the cruel. Well, for entertainment purpose , he would throw slaves to hungry dogs. All to the delight of his guests. Now let me repeat myself again. They allowed such a wicked man to go free. What makes you think that the white civilians weren’t offered the same opportunity?

He had to do what he did to free our ancestors from the cruelty of the French colons. They were the most cruel among all the colonies. Even Black slaves were given the option to leave the island with their White masters. Most of them who wanted to leave went to the other French colonies, such as Louisiana, etc.

Thank you on the focus of the successful slave revolt in Haiti. A first for the Americas. I did some reading concerning the Emerging US and their relationship with Independent Haiti. If I can remember, Haiti approached the USA to begin a diplomatic relationship and assistance as a 'Free People'. I believe the US were having their own problems with England, France and Spain. They also owed a great debt to France for assistance in the American Revolutionary War. Let's not forget that Jefferson just bought the Louisiana Territory from France. The Government of the US - Slave Nation in its own right - Boycotted and refused to have any assistance and trading with Haiti. The ramifications lasted throughout the 19th Century and into the 20th Century. Haiti - A Nation for potential wealth - never recovered from the 'Stigma' placed upon it by the USA. Just look at Haiti today. My Thoughts. Thanks.

Just a quote from the Web: 'During Haiti's critical period of development, France intervened even more directly than the U.S. to thwart its success. In July 1825, the French King, Charles X, sent an armed flotilla of warships to Haiti with the message that the young nation would have to pay France 150 million francs to secure its independence, or suffer the consequences. That sum was 10 times the amount the United States had paid France in the Louisiana Purchase, which had doubled the size of the U.S. Almost literally at gunpoint, Haiti caved to France's demands in order to secure its independence. The amount was too much for the young nation to pay outright, and so it had to take out loans with hefty interest rates from a French bank. Over the next century, Haiti paid French slaveholders and their descendants the equivalent of between $20 and $30 billion in today's dollars. It took Haiti 122 years to pay it off. Professor Marlene Daut writes it "severely damaged the newly independent country's ability to prosper."

The problem you see in Haiti today has always been the problem of -Haiti- AYITI ever since her birthday (01/01/1804) or since the death of her emperor (J-J Dessalines). See, when Ayiti took her independence from france, there was a division between the blacks and the mulattos. Now, who was the leader of AYITI at the time...? Dessalines, of course, a black man. Who did not like Dessalines at the time... 🇫🇷, 🇪🇸, 🇬🇧, 🇺🇸, and of course the mulattos (🇭🇹). All of a sudden Dessalines ended up dead, all black people knew it wouldn't be beneficial for any black person to kill him... now, you go figure. WHEN YOU SAY "YOU GUYS"....Do you really know who you're talking about?????? Please, Do some research on -Haiti- AYITI.

Relative to its size (both in landmass & population), Haiti is arguably one of the most historically impressive countries in the world. Certainly in the Americas at the very least. A paradoxical revelation when you consider the state it’s in now. Shoutout to the Haitians, by & large some generous & hardworking folks. A resilient ppl if there ever was any.

Are you aware that the US, Canada and France invaded Haiti in 2004, and then subsequently arranged for a murderous 14 year multinational UN occupation of the country? Do you know that white foreigners got together in Ottawa, Canada in 2003 and decided, without a single Haitian in the room, to unilaterally cancel Haiti's sovereignty? Do you know that as a result, Haiti is controlled by proxy by a mafia consortium of Western ambassadors called the Core Group? Do you know that those so-called ''street gangs'' are ultimately there to fulfill the Western agenda in Haiti with the help of the local puppets that those same countries (with the US in the lead) illegally installed during their occupation? Where do their guns come from and why are they allowed to flood Haiti and get into their hands? By the way, the year 2004 is significant, as it was the 200th year anniversary of Haiti's independence. White hatred for that Revolution never died. And part of the reason they invaded is because the democratically elected president at the time had launched a reparations campaign against France. Let that sink in. It's not as simple as you think. The forces unleashed against Haiti to destroy and control it for good are formidable. Rochambeau's ghost came back, and he brought lots of evil friends for a do-over. The white supremacist counter-revolution continues.

Among the "French" soldiers of the LeClerc expedition were some Polish soldiers, as Poland was France's ally. The Poles were told they were going to Haiti to fight for liberty, equality, fraternity, etc., the same that they were told they had fought for in Europe. But when they got to Haiti, they soon realized that the French were actually fighting to re-impose slavery, which had been abolished about a decade earlier, and it was the Haitians who were the actual freedom fighters, so SOME Polish soldiers of the French expedition defected to the Haitians and fought on their side. When the war ended and the Haitians had won, the few Polish defectors who survived (maybe about 5,000 or so) were given full Haitian citizenship, the only whites to receive it. Some Haitians today are descendants of those Polish soldiers, but after 10 generations or so of intermarriage with the locals, Slavic physical features have mostly disappeared.

Yep Dessalines referred to them as the "White Negroes of Europe" because he sympathized with their struggle and there's still a Polish community in Haiti today.

Finally someone covers this!

Jean Jacques Dessalines was a great general. But if he had remained a general and Henri Christophe came into power after Toussaint. I think the story of Haiti would have been a lot more successful. Dessalines embodied the rage of the common black man at the constant state of atrocities the French drug black people through, with their tortures for leisure. And the way they used and and disposed of human beings. It was absolutely the worst practice of slavery the world has ever seen, so it's hard to be mad at Dessalines. But Henri Christophe saw the bigger picture. And that was necessary for the times. It was just too late and too much division when he came to power.

Haiti was made an example of. Europe mainly France and America bankrupt Haiti. Reason why Haitians in such disparities

Then the Americans got involved and saved the day! Oh... wait, no... that's not what happened?

This happy independence was short lived. Haiti was essentially cut off from the rest of the world because they were (and still are) a black country, so nobody really traded with them. And they had to pay France for whatever reason.

It seems to me like the Haitians destroying everything was a bad idea. It may have been necessary, perhaps. Not sure. But definitely bad from an economic standpoint following independence.

Umm, forgive me if the response is extreme in the moment but if we’re gonna call what Dessalines did a genocide then wtf do you call what the French did in Haiti? Mind you, the level of brutality used by the French as well as the constant double crosses by the French for centuries created the conditions necessary to illicit such a reaction. We can be fair and say that brutality was exercised on both sides which is true but I don’t like how what the French did was seemingly glossed over as some regular ho-hum 18th century white folks shit while the very natural, visceral response of the people fighting for their freedom and humanity had to have it be declared a genocide. The extremely high mortality rate on San Domingue doesn’t count as genocide though huh? Nor does the extermination of the Taino populations. Sorry, but this critique was needed imo and it points to my personal issue with begging for outsiders to tell the story of these Black struggles as opposed to us ourselves telling them. Again, kudos for making the video at all because it does educate somewhat and brings attention to things but I’d take into consideration my comments and why it would be offensive to someone Black such as myself to see that very obvious double standard. Don’t let me find out y’all got videos about how the American Revolution was a humane nearly bloodless revolution too. 😂

Besides Haiti, there were other actions also taking place. In actuality, around 20000 British troops were used in Haiti over the space of 5 years and the vast majority of casualties were caused by yellow fever, malaria and smallpox, not combat.

France established with their military African men in The Isla La Española. French Revolution abolished slavery white and Africans black slavery. After their independence African military men invaded the Spanish side of the island La Española, killing all white and their criollos passing to the capital Santo Domingo, as the desguello de Moca. When the Northamerican heard about the massacres they offered their free slaves 40 monedas and a mule to establish their own country, it is why there are Africans with English language and names around the costs of Hispanoamericans.

I appreciate the enthusiastic way you presented the history of Haiti. However, I would like to inform people about the ceremony that preceded the revolution. As White historians made us believe, it was not a vaudou ceremony, it was a conference that took place that night. There was no drinking of the blood of a sacrificed pig. These African slaves were originally Hebrew Israelites. They did not eat pigs. They did not make a pact with the devil to become free men. This is a big lie. The bottom line, some never accepted the fact that slaves could take their freedom by force and founded a nation. This revolution shook so many. This is the reason some want to exterminate Haitians but still want to get the land. There are plenty of natural resources in the land and they know that. They like to describe Haiti as the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. Why? Some of the answers are right there in this presentation. There is hope for Haiti! We only need to get united together again and ignore those who want to divide us. We can do it.❤️💕👏

The Dominicans are those people who are mixed with the tainos, spaninard and african slaves who started arriving in the island by 1502. There's documented evidence that the Dominican have existed even before the first french settlement in the island which were the ones who brought current haitians to the island. There's literally books and even a letter from the king of Spain Phillip IV thanking the "dominican" people from 1625. You can start kicking and screaming all you want but nothing is going to erase history. It is a fact that the Dominicans have existed since before the haitians even stepped foot on the island. This is also the reason why the only haitians who have a drop of taino in them is because they are mixed with dominicans. The only information the haitians have of the original inhabitants of the island, from the island being named Ayiti to their religion, is from the Dominican people. I'm also not even going to entertain you with the " Dominican even signed the haitian constitution in 1801" That's not only dumb but false.
