18-19c. François Toussaint L’Ouverture French or Haitian? One Of The Greatest Revolutionist aka Toussaint Bréda

Who Was François Toussaint L’Ouverture? They claim François Toussaint L’Ouverture was a former *Haitian slave who led the only successful slave revolt in modern history. Toussaint L’Ouverture was a leader of the Haitian independence movement during the French Revolution. Standing steadfastly, he fought to end slavery and gain Haiti’s independence from European powers, France and Spain. Forming an army of former slaves and deserters from the French and Spanish troops, he trained his followers in guerrilla warfare and successfully ended slavery in Hispaniola by 1795.  

I am 99.99% Sure that he was a French man because he identified as being French, his style was French, His posture was French and last but NOT least, he was a French Jacobin. Which was similar to a Jacobite only difference was that it was a member of French society. I’m led to believe that the genocide of the original dark Anglo-Saxons in England also happened in France. No way should he be dressed so elaborately and exactly like a French soldier, NOT an ex-Caribbean slave. He most likely went to Haiti because his people were sent there from France, so he fought to save them. See how he compares with a french man.

The Cost for Haiti to Be Free Of Slavery – In 1791, enslaved Haitians did the seemingly impossible — ousting their French masters and founding a nation. But France made generations of Haitians pay for that freedom in cash. Just how much has remained a mystery until now.

Haiti paid $21 billion to compensate France for the loss of a colony and slaves.

Haiti is a nation which has been persistently impoverished ever since its independence in 1804, following the most successful slave rebellion in history, the Haitian Revolution (1791–1804) and has remained impoverished primarily due to the nation’s external debt. Haiti was formerly under French colonial rule (1625–1804) and was known as Saint-Domingue, and was one of France’s most profitable and valued colonies. Which France ensured it would be compensated for the loss of.

Shortly after Haitian independence in 1804, France demanded that the newly formed country pay the French government, French slaveholders and for French recognition of Haiti as a sovereign state, a total of 150 million francs; with France frequently threatening Haiti with its warships if Haiti did not cooperate. Not only did France demand compensation but also that Haiti discounts its exported goods to France by 50%, leaving Haiti to operate almost as a colony despite it being a sovereign state (Jacobin, 2017).
