Stop trying to paint the colonizing leachers as victims because they were forced to feel the fatalities of a war they started.

*Jean-Jacques Dessalines* was the one who gave us our independence. Which by the way gave the *red and black* flag. NOT red and blue. (Please, KZbin DO NOT erase this).

[@nimbud]

Amaru sheekuku - 👍, but the emperor gave us both flag. During the war of independance, he got rid of the white color in the Friench tricolor flag. Catherine Flore attached the blue and red that was the first flag without the coat of arms. It was written " liberty or death" on this flag. After we won our independence the emperor create the black and red, which was the flag of the empire Haiti until his assassination October 17, 1806. The black and red flag that's the one I consider as my flag, since it was the last order of the emperor

France abolished slavery 7 years after French Revolution... Why not directly? Because France began with a constitutional monarchy which replaced the past absolute monarchy... and the king had a right of veto (to refuse or accept the parliament propositions) ... When the parliament proposed to abolish slavery and declare human rights, the French king used his veto against that proposition and refused to sign the universal constitution of human’s rights and of the citizens.... We had to wait until 1793 with the execution of the French king in the guillotine and the creation of the French Republic so slavery could be abolished... and the next year (1794) France abolished slavery in French colonies

They needed "french revolutionary freedom" to realize they didn't want to be slaves? and i'm sure that the revolutionary thinking of the french also taught them the lay of their land, how to use the machete, what cultural tools to employ, and what strategy to take in attacking their "masters". this is colonial af. they tried.

[@revolutionariesoffreedom2374]

France abolished slavery only after 7 years after French Revolution

[@revolutionariesoffreedom2374]

The reason why France didn’t abolish slavery directly after their revolution it was because when France became a democracy, france turned from an absolute monarchy into a constitutional monarchy....

[@revolutionariesoffreedom2374]

And during that constitutional monarchy, even if the king shared his powers with the parliament, the king had a veto right so he could decline the propositions of the parliament...

[@revolutionariesoffreedom2374]

And that was exactly the problem... when the Revolutionaries And the parliament wanted to create a constitution based on human rights, the king used his veto against that... the constitution had a lot of plans like abolition of slavery in French colonies, but the French king used his veto and refused to sign the universal constitution of human’s rights and of the citizens...

It really sickens me. All the activism and preaching and protesting really hasn't liberated us that much. Our elected city, state and Congress people have failed to protect our rights so the only solution is to fight fire with fire. People need to stop being so scared and start taking lives in order to earn respect. The only group of individuals I have utmost respect for is the Black Panther Party because they are the only organization that had the courage to fight toe to toe and take the lives of our oppressers. Black Lives Matter will never have the fortitude of The Black Panther Party, all of the American slave revolts and The Haitian Revolution unless they step up their game in a super major way. Right now Black Lives Matter is soft like a baby's bottom.

[@Jordanicolass]

Danny Viking Wrong, Spaniards intermingled more than anybody, if anything that was what created the Latin American ethnicity, the mix between Spaniards Africans and Native American from center and South America. The English however remained more segregated.

[@kendrick10601]

There's was no "Indians" (Tainos) left. They were all exterminated by the French and the Spanish. But the Haitians did call themselves " L'armée indigène" (the indigenous army) and renamed Saint-Domingue to its original name: Haiti (Ayiti)

[@booth2710]

"3 years after the Haitian revolution the British abolished the slave trade. Most of the world followed soon after .." That is the most casual and laziest statement ever made. Britain campaigned hard for years to abolish the slave trade. And most of the world did not so readily 'follow soon after' Britain warred with many other European nations to halt their slave trading and thousands of British naval lives were lost patrolling the seas in efforts to put an end to the transatlantic slave trade. The isolated uprising in Haiti in 1804 had no bearing on the campaign to end the universal slave trade. It was regarded for what it was - an uprising on an isolated island colonized by the French - who of course the British had no particular fondness of at the time either. Also Britain had no interests in the French controlled Haiti.
