The Haitian Revolution : A Sovereign Black State

#haitianrevolution #blackhistory #history They defeated the armies of three empires, abolished slavery before any Western power, and forged a nation in the fires of war. Yet, the Haitian Revolution was met not with applause, but with global isolation, forcing the world's first Black republic to pay a price for its own freedom. In this video, we explore the monumental legacy of the Haitian Revolution. We go beyond the footnotes of history to reveal the tactical genius of leaders like Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines, who turned a colony of enslaved people into a sovereign state and challenged the very hypocrisies of the Enlightenment. We break down the transformation of Saint-Domingue, examining the conflicts between the Northern Kingdom and the Southern Republic, and expose the devastating economic warfare that Western nations used to silence a revolution that redefined human rights. 📚 Research & References: Popkin, Jeremy D.
