If there was no Haiti,the would be no freedom for so many countries. Viva Haiti 🇭🇹 para siempre, BWA KALE!
If you have nothing to show for mean nothing
@carlosdesire5855, how will you have something to show for when the US doesn't allow anyone to trade with haiti. Haiti can only buy and sell from DR which we all know how that goes.
Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador, Bolivia, Panama (since it was part of Colombia).
🇭🇹🇭🇹🇭🇹
Triggered ws in the comments
Sooo happy I'm 100% haitian warrior blood! Frfr. Born in America but both my parents are Zoe. So im a Haitian -American. My cultures blood defines me.
Greetings from peru 🇭🇹🇵🇪
It's truthful. Haiti invented freedom. Haitian land, is the freedom land. Haitians have struggled to eliminate slavery that has been existed centuries in the world. This slavery system has touched all humans being on earth. But, Haitians people invented freedom, and helped many countries in the time to rescue themselves against oppressors and slavery. Haiti is the true land of humanity. Haiti will rise again in other way from the misery, whose it has been victims by the old power colonialism slavery in the time.
💯
It's going to mind slavery backwards
It was the green light for lot of oppressed people, around the world, to start emancipation. Believe it or not, the news of the Haitian victory over the French spread around the world.
Haiti 🇭🇹 is in big trouble right now. The country is in a chokehold.
@@reubenjoseph2499 yes, but it's a trap from the occidental power. They swear to not left the people quiet after our period of freedom in 1804. There are so many international political diversion to show that they want our well being, but it's the contrary.
Haiti has helped a lot of countries gain their independence. I wish them a good leadership that will put everything back together.
Thanks 🙏 for your positive comments about Haiti
A cuáles países ayudó?
@@ZonaCero-lo4ilThey have Google for a reason
@@jhondoe1316lo pregunto porque sé que los haitianos se atribuyen eventos que no son ciertos, y a Estados Unidos no fue Haiti que ayudó, fue Francia, porque la independencia de Haití fue varios ańos después que la Americana.
I wish Haiti could have read my praise of them when everything appeared to be out of control. I believe in uplifting when everything
Seems to be going down hill. Haitians you are beautiful people. You will overcome just as you have through out your long history. We will all stick together because we love each other, African American, Haitians and the Caribbean. We are one. “Love You All”.
Thank you
Your a rare breed much love.
Well done, sir. Hayiti is striving now. But it will gain its power once more, and this will be forever in the name of Yahuwah.
@Maurichaelr tells the true Haiti is not striving. We are in a security crisis right now.
Perfect so it could be fixed right not try to be like other country
@@carlosdesire5855what makes you think Haiti can't be like other countries?
Not trying to fix the problems the same system as other countries. First if you had A army for 200 years why get rid of it because another country tell you to do it.Economy use to be 60% for the rich 40% for the poor now 95% for the rich 5% for the poor the government still get some of that 5% than the government and the rich both greedy. A country that been there that long went down so bad in 54 years had to be imported from other countries. So yes by going out of your comfort zone you loss your economy the culture is next
We do not want to be like any other country. We are our own as always and we are going to be the best and the top as promised by mighty Hayti. Yah ....@@ynwmellyedite2464
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.
Love, value and appreciation to our people's worldwide 🌕 🌠 🌌 🪐 🛸.
🇭🇹 🇯🇲 and all continents in Africa.
Protect ourselves with knowledge.
MAY GOD BLESS 🙌 🙏 ✨️ HAITI 🇭🇹 FOREVER 😢😢😢
Power To The Beautiful People of Haiti 🇭🇹 ❤
What a powerful documentary!
Thank you TH-cam for allowing me the ability to uplift Haiti in the time of trouble. Now, I need to pray for my people, the Palestinians.
Brothers Keepers! Stand up please we need y’all
Hayti will always be the icon of liberty for all from slavery despite the oppression of U. S. France and Canada today. They can oppressed us but they cannot kill all of us. Hayti is on its way out of rebirth we know it and they also know it.
The icon of failure
Not only did the former slaves of St Domingue inspire many countries to gain their independence, but also, the slave revolt in St Domingue forced Napoleon to sell that piece of land in America. The Louisiana Purchase allowed the US to double its size, thanks to the Haitian revolution
Good my all Haitians! Be strong 💪 only thing I know God sees everything, your suffering your pain please be courage 🙏
This is powerfully epic!! Engaging narration paired with stunning imagery.
I'm not sure where you got your info from but a chunk of it is inaccurate.
The rebels did not surrender, they never would. Toussaints army practiced a policy of scorched earth and guerrilla attacks which wearied down the French. Like the Russians did Napoleon and the Nazi years later. Leclerc was the one to wave the white flag and asked Toussaint to meet for a treaty. Toussaint trusted him and at the meeting, he was arrested and sent to France. The rebels were so unruly that is why Leclerc wrote to Napoleon about extermination.
Moreover, it wasnt serendipity that led to yellow fever, Dessalines strategically led a bio-warfare campaign against the French. Many of the rebels were versed in botany, pharmacology and toxicology and used their knowledge to poison French water and food supply. Kinda like how they make zombies today.
How different would the world be if Toussaint and Dessalines hadnt stop him? The world over everyone would probably speak French instead of English.
Are you kidding ?it's in American story.
Yes we never never will surrender
Good information about yellow fever, makes more sense now.
American lies or history swallow it and regurjate your filthy poisons of lies. Total lies being tauggt all over ... @@msvesta3931
This Hispanola movie would make billions of dollars.I wish that there was someone brave enough to touch it...
FOREVER, will be proud of my country s history 👏.
TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS, come and go., we are still RESILIENT. Continue to RESIST........
✊🏾 greatest country no one else would’ve created freedom if it wasn’t us no one before or after. Love my people and proud to be Haitian
Ayiti Cherie/Haiti will rise again! 🇭🇹
MERCY MERCY MERCY ON US O LORD , AND THE STRUGGLE CONTINUES . 😢😢😢😢😢

Congrat brother..

Ayisyen nou ye.Yeee
Don't forget haiti helped free slaves in America, helped with American independence and so on. What they get from all that....invasions, blockades and more.
Venezuela ,Peru,Colombia,provided military force and food
@@cleevensguerrier7724 and more!!! Ecuador DR....
@@bigl161985en RD eran libres en ese momento, la primera abolición de esclavitud la hizo la reina Isabel, cuando declaró que los Taínos debían ser iguales a todos los demás. Ahí inicio el respeto a los derechos humanos. Lee sobre eso y deje de engañarse por la falsa historia que se han inventado, solo para justificar la invasión haitiana a RD. En RD éramos libres cuando ustedes vinieron a ocuparnos y en RD inició toda la modernidad del nuevo mundo gracias a los espańoles.
Wrong
@@alejandroabreha4516 🤣🤣🤣 don't lie on my top bro lolz

And look how the United states make Haiti pay and thanks them for making the united states the powerful country it is today. I respect this nation not only for its courage but also for helping Venezuela, Colombia, Panama and others gain their independence and the only thing they asked in return from Simon Bolivar was to abolish the slavery on all the american continents.
The state of Louisiana received the largest number of slaves 😢. I guess this is why we are the way, we are. So many different tribes 😢 AMEN 🙏 GOD is good!!

The only way for Haiti to be out of misery now and to be a well developed nation and to be able to exploit his Gas and gold, is to be ally with Russia and China, look what a Haiti-USA partnership look like today
