Now let’s take a look together: Haiti is an island in the Caribbean. It used to be that there were more than 200,000 Indians living here. These Indians have lived here for a long, long time, so long that even the history of our humanity seems to have

It was almost as if they had forgotten their existence. It was not until the Spaniards developed their navigation industry and gained maritime hegemony that they discovered the Indians here. These Spaniards began to colonize here, but the Indians were disobedient and unwilling to do anything for them.

The Spaniards wanted to serve, that is, they were unwilling to be the tools of the Spaniards, so the Spaniards drove out almost all of these Indians.

How serious is this kind of extermination of almost everyone? For example, there were more than 200,000 people before, but now it is a miracle to find a few hundred people, and they are still better hidden. Then the Spaniards still

Do you need tools? The land here is fertile, so it is very suitable for development, and this development definitely requires manpower. So what should the Spaniards do now? They thought of a way to transport black people from other places by ship.

Then work here to create wealth for the Spaniards.

So, the Spaniards transported a large number of black slaves here and forced them to work in plantations and mines. What is this kind of labor like? Let me give you a little introduction. In fact, the Spaniards are very cruel.

Exploiting and oppressing black slaves, these black slaves were forced by the Spaniards to work for more than twenty hours every day, and they were arbitrarily insulted and even whipped. In any case, these black slaves were regarded by the Spanish colonists as

They are just a group of tools, so they can cut off their ears, even hands and feet at will, and even directly throw disobedient black people into the fire and burn them alive. So far, a large number of black slaves have died of exhaustion in labor in manors and mines, and

More were killed.

Then, as we said before, the French came here later. The French had a very strong military force at this time, so they drove away the Spanish. Do you think that the black slaves were liberated? No! In fact, the black slaves were liberated.

Their status has not changed at all, because the French's attitude and concepts towards black slaves are actually not much different from the Spanish. They still make them work for nearly twenty hours a day, and they also cut off their ears or hands and feet at will.

Even burned alive. So these black slaves can no longer endure it. They have been enslaved like this for generations. Is this really human life? Of course not, they are just a group defined by the European powers.

It's just a tool for casual use and killing.

So in 1791, a slave uprising broke out across the island of Haiti. In just a few days, black slaves burned more than a thousand plantations and broke into the colonial officials and plantation owners.

At home, more than 2,000 French colonists were killed. The remaining colonists were now outnumbered, so they fled Haiti in a hurry. During this great uprising, Toussaint gradually became

The leader of the rebel army.

Toussaint is actually a descendant of black slaves. He also suffered a lot since he was a child, but later became a coachman for the plantation owner. And Toussaint himself was also very smart. He taught himself French and read a lot of French.

Ertai, Rousseau, and Montesquieu's books promoting freedom. So after participating in the uprising, Dusan relied on his own knowledge, excellent organizational skills, and commanding skills to gradually become the uprising.

The leader of the army. This is because other black slaves are just tools. They don’t know how to read or have any knowledge. They just know that the French are not good to them, so they kill the French. This is completely out of our human instinct.

That's all.

But Dusan is completely different. Dusan can understand the truth. He can use language to describe the process of such things and even why these things happen. As we said before, Dusan has a lot of knowledge.

It was so wide that the black people affectionately called Toussaint "Louverture", which means guide.

So Toussaint commanded the rebel army and defeated France. At this time, more than 6,000 troops were sent. Then the black people were free for a period of time, but later the Spaniards and the British came to Haiti one after another. But at this time and

It was different in the past. These black slaves also had some weapons, so Dusan led the rebel army to fight against them.

Toussaint first concentrated their forces, defeated the Spaniards in the north, and drove them out of Haiti. Then using the north as his base, after more than three years of preparation, Toussaint led his army southward to attack the British and drive them out of Haiti.

They were defeated greatly and it can be said that many black slaves were liberated.

Although many black slaves died during this process, what should we say about this matter? For example, right now? These black people who have been slaves for a long time can finally become their own masters this time with pride and pride.

No one will whip them anymore, or make them work more than twenty hours a day, exhausting them to death, or cut off their ears, hands and feet at will, or even worse, burn them alive. Now they have freedom.

.So in June 1801, the black people held a convention, formulated the first black constitution, abolished slavery, and elected Toussaint as the president of Haiti.

After the news reached Paris, Napoleon was shocked, because what's wrong? The meat in his bowl now has its own consciousness? It actually jumped out of the bowl, and it might be detrimental to him? So Napoleon immediately sent himself

Richle, his brother-in-law, then led 30,000 French troops to suppress the black slaves. As soon as the French army landed in Haiti, they immediately drove out all the black people in a village on the seaside. In short, the French army's weapons were very sophisticated. This was

Guns and guns are definitely not a joke. And we must understand that this is to kill everyone. In other words, no matter whether they are the elderly, children, pregnant women, etc., as long as they are alive and alive, they will be slaughtered.

concept.

This behavior of the French army immediately aroused great anger from other people in Haiti. This is simply a direct dehumanization! In fact, the black slaves thought about things wrong at this time. This is just like the example I told you before.

, a person from a country without civil rights, how can they discuss their own democracy with us? This is definitely brain shrinkage, or even schizophrenia. So this is the current situation of black slaves. They use so-called human rights to treat them as

It is ridiculous for the French, who are just a tool, to discuss that black people should also have human rights.

So Dusan completely figured this out, because most people couldn't, so Dusan immediately held a mobilization meeting. At the meeting, Dusan said: We have gained freedom, and now the French have sent soldiers again. They want to

Let us become slaves again! The French have no right to take away our freedom! We will let them starve to death! Die of thirst! Die of exhaustion! Let Haiti become the tomb of the French! Down with the French! Long live freedom! Soldiers and the masses immediately

They also chanted.

Then the Haitians moved all their food into the mountains, and burned everything they could not take away, leaving absolutely nothing usable or resources for the French. In addition, these Haitians even poisoned the wells.

, the houses were all burned to the ground, and really nothing was left for the French. After the French completely landed, they entered empty cities one after another, unable to find a grain of food or a house where they could rest.

, couldn't find a well that could be used to drink water, and it was simply difficult to move. And that's not to mention, every night, the Haitians came down from the mountains, attacked the French camp, and fired cold shots at the French from time to time.

The French are so frightened that they can't rest twenty-four hours a day. How can they fight? French soldiers are human beings too? But if this continues, they will definitely lose.

So the insidious Richler wrote to Dusan, telling him that if he did not surrender, he would kill all his two sons studying in France! Dusan was very sad after reading this letter.

, but he still said very firmly: I will never surrender! I will never sacrifice Haiti for my son! So Toussaint was also furious now. He led the army to defeat the French army, causing countless casualties.

Then Richler wrote another letter to Toussaint. After all, the French army had already suffered serious losses, so the letter said: For the sake of peace, shall we negotiate? I can absolutely guarantee your safety, and you will not be able to find anything like this.

I am a more honest person. But at this time, Dusan thought that the French had suffered successive defeats, and now they must be sincerely asking for peace, so he came to the French camp to negotiate alone, but Dusan didn't know that this was

A conspiracy of Rickler.

When Richler saw Dusan coming alone, he immediately ordered the French soldiers to arrest him and take him back to France. On the boat, Dusan angrily pointed at the red, white and blue flag of France and said: You are showing off your freedom.

, Where is equality and fraternity? Your flag is just a fig leaf for bandits! It is stained with the blood of us Haitians! As long as we Haitians still have a gun in our hands, we will fight to the end!

After Toussaint arrived in France, he actually suffered a lot. In fact, the French wanted him to return to Haiti and persuade the black slaves in Haiti to continue serving the French, but Toussaint refused, so half a year later,

Dusan was tortured and died in prison.

After the news of Toussaint's death reached Haiti, it completely aroused the strongest and overwhelming anger of the Haitian people. They fought bravely like crazy and attacked the French army everywhere. As a result, the French army suffered heavy casualties, including Lian Li.
