I wish my elders, my grandparents, and theirs, could have lived in a time like the present. I'm greatful for this. Thanks.

I am a born Aytien grew up in America Ayti means unity love peace and Haiti means hating on each other which was changed by the Europeans/slave owners. Bookman was a Hero not a Vodou Priest yet, Vodou Priests are Kings. Ayti will be saved one day in spite of of the martyrs tribulations and humiliations it's people are suffering today. One love Ayti and Africa❤

[@T700-n3k]

Think about it why would our oppressors know or talk about all aspect of where we aboriginal and descendants of slaves down the line originally come from? One thing is for sure they didn't want to air out the rest of their wrong doing that was not presented in textbooks and media/internet shared documents as well as them not knowing our history to begin with let along them not knowing themselves as well. I had teachers that were black fired for speaking real truths in history that had been backed up by history and things not taught by the regular curriculum of white driven society.

[@rithalouis2606]

You have not missed a bit. Well said. Good job.. nice page of history for the black race' without saying it.'. HAITI HAS CHANGED THE WORLD.. THAT IS WHY IT STILL HAS BEEN PUNISHED FOR STANDING AGAINTS SLAVERY'. THANKS HAITI FOR PAVING THE WAY AND SORRY FOR YOUR SOUFFRING'.

Fun fact: Napoleon considered various plans for France’s colonies during his first years of power. Among other ideas, he even thought of employing Toussaint and his black troops to create a large French empire in Louisiana. He already had 20,000 Native American troops on standby in North America. Part of the plan was to use the black, Native American and French troops to seize a couple ports from the Americans and take full control of "Louisiana Territory" also expand west of the Mississippi and conquer and colonize lands there. However, Saint Domingue (Haiti) was to be a staging area, a type of fob, providing supplies, soldiers, workers, slaves and funds. The loss of his the island colony left him without the base from which to project his military power to North America together with the depletion of his forces in the battles as well as the loss of the riches of the colony to fund his dream of an American Empire drove him to offload the Louisiana Territory

[@eastafricanist9156]

Wow. The Americans are indebted to Haiti for this.

White was considered as a class structure that meant Europeans. White didn't become a race identity until the late 1700's early 1800's after the Black Europeans fought off the British. The Black Europeans were fleeing Europe because of religious persecution. "Common religious" beliefs are Hebrew (Sephardic Jews). They were descendants being spread around. The slaves that the Spainish brought to the islands first came from the West Africa and the Americas. The French brought their slaves from captives of the Indian wars in the Americas. The West Africans were descendants of the Sephardic Jews that were exiled from Spain and Portugal.

[@mariarod6998]

Well said my grandfather was a Sephardic jew

This history is not completely but it has given the complete reason Napoleon Bonaparte sold louisiana to jefferson . Haiti force Bonaparte rothe whole thing. Because he can not brought the slaves to New Orleans for sale anymore Because their boats could not touch our shores anymore for the triage. Bonaparte was desperate. He has no place to bring his boats. New Orleans port wasn't useful anymore This is the best of all course of all

The black soldiers who came from Saint Domingue were not yet Haitians. They were part of the French troops who came to help USA. These French black soldiers became Haitians later after they declared their independence and changed the name of their territory to Haiti (a taino name).

🔥🔥🔥 *Jeremiah 4:22* The LORD says, “My people are stupid; they don't know me. They are like foolish children; they have no understanding. They are experts at doing what is evil, but failures at doing what is good.” *Isaiah 1:7* 7 Your land is ruined. Your cities have been burned with fire. While you watch, your enemies are stealing everything from your land. Your land is ruined like a country destroyed by enemies. *Isaiah 42:20-23* Living Bible 20 You see and understand what is right but won’t heed nor do it; you hear, but you won’t listen. 21 The Lord has magnified his law and made it truly glorious. Through it he had planned to show the world that he is righteous. 22 But what a sight his people are-these who were to demonstrate to all the world the glory of his law;[a] for they are robbed, enslaved, imprisoned, trapped, fair game for all, with no one to protect them. 23 Won’t even one of you apply these lessons from the past and see the ruin that awaits you up ahead?

🎺🎺🎺 Haïti, Hayti, Kiskeya the mother of all lands. Haïti the light of the nations. 🔥 *Deuteronomy 28:37* You will become an object of horror, scorn, and ridicule among all the peoples where the Lord will drive you. *Ezekiel 5:15* Then you will be shamed by the nations around you. They will make fun of you. You will be a warning to them. They will be terrified. This will happen when I punish you in my great anger. I, the Lord, have spoken. *Deuteronomy 28:46* 46 The curses will be signs and miracles to you and your descendants forever. *Isaiah 60:14* The people who have hurt you will bow down to you. Those who hated you will bow down at your feet. They will call you The City of the Lord. They will call you Jerusalem, city of the Holy One of Israel.
