in the summer of 1789 when he was still the[br]doom it come on you've seen looming

0:03:30.750,0:03:37.750
it was friends to grab the world's attention[br]persian mobs rioted against the French King

0:03:43.440,0:03:49.609
equality and brotherhood they sparked a revolution[br]that would feel history books for centuries

0:03:49.609,0:03:53.720
to come[br]the truth about the French Revolution was

0:03:53.720,0:03:56.229
that it meant a lot of different[br]things to a lot of different people

0:03:56.229,0:04:03.229
0[br]one in the streets of Paris the French Revolution

0:04:04.509,0:04:09.229

if Europe's most radical thinkers[br]could be realized the nobody knows exactly

0:04:21.190,0:04:25.060
what's gonna come out it[br]but just the idea of up having rights right

0:04:25.060,0:04:28.060
the idea that[br]all people have rights that those rights are

0:04:28.060,0:04:31.620
inherent this is something that[br]obviously philosopher said written about before

0:04:31.620,0:04:34.560
but during the course the French Revolution[br]was written down in a text on

0:04:34.560,0:04:41.040
the Declaration of the Rights of Man[br]it's a dangerous idea because the society

0:04:41.040,0:04:46.150
is based on equality[br]that's what makes it work because it was not

0:04:46.150,0:04:50.720

but need you give me to sue of the freemen[br]home

0:09:48.360,0:09:54.520
I[br]too similar to you was a very determined man

0:09:54.520,0:10:01.520
he was a premium issues man and in my opinion[br]he was a genius con

0:10:04.490,0:10:08.029
to sound as I think when the most incredible[br]figures

0:10:08.029,0:10:14.649
and I know that in in many ways[br]he's born on a plantation in sending

0:10:14.649,0:10:20.370
he grows up on a plantation that plantation[br]was owned by a man who was

0:10:20.370,0:10:25.370
tolerant for the times[br]to say I was taught to read invite as a child

0:10:25.370,0:10:31.980
it[br]he eventually occupies that a somewhat privileged

0:10:31.980,0:10:34.850
role as you can see that on[br]plantations as encouragement

0:10:34.850,0:10:38.130
and has a kinda relationship with the managers[br]and ministers

0:10:38.130,0:10:43.520
some ways he becomes free in the 1770s[br]so he somebody who can occupy different roles

0:10:43.520,0:10:45.350
in society and I think that's the[br]key

0:10:45.350,0:10:51.120
for understanding to Sat is that he saw possibilities[br]where other people that

0:10:51.120,0:10:55.800
the[br]%uh he had businesses

0:10:55.800,0:10:59.399
had contacts in the US and elsewhere bank[br]accounts

back to the plantation it was a stark recognition[br]as eighteenth-century realities

0:26:36.080,0:26:38.729
sometimes it's easy to look back at this and[br]suggest that they were willing to

0:26:38.729,0:26:42.299
sell out their followers[br]while the terms I think its true are are troubling

0:26:42.299,0:26:45.200
in some ways[br]they were also trying to see some change I

0:26:45.200,0:26:48.539

well[br]so too sad is sent to negotiate with the planters

0:27:36.070,0:27:38.369
with the idea that I sense a[br]settlement can be reached

0:27:38.369,0:27:43.729
I'm this settlement is not only for the freedom[br]sum up the insurgent leaders but also for

0:27:43.729,0:27:47.779
some reforms on the plantation[br]small reforms for reforms that at least in

0:27:47.779,0:27:52.289
the letters they describe[br]their followers really want whether the small

about what's going on he knows several things[br]he knows first about that they're

0:42:29.690,0:42:34.060
very powerful[br]pro-slavery voices in France who are advert

0:42:34.060,0:42:38.900
were agitating against him[br]attacking him and proposing that slavery actually

0:42:38.900,0:42:43.460
be recreated in some form[br]and send a mixed is

depended on his ability to mobilize people[br]to rebuild the devastated economy

0:42:53.470,0:43:00.470
see me into sense mind that meant[br]learned saying [br]his black followers

0:43:06.130,0:43:13.130
should return to the cane fields [br]there were some compelling reasons for this[br]I

0:43:16.850,0:43:23.660
mean mainly into says situation[br]he was really in a bind at that point %ah

0:43:23.660,0:43:28.620
in the sense that his hope for peace was restoring[br]product productivity on the

0:43:28.620,0:43:33.040
plantations[br]recreating the sugar trade in particularly

0:43:33.040,0:43:36.640
but[br]nobody wanted to go back to that kind of work

0:43:36.640,0:43:41.640
so he pretty well had 24 stuff[br]and then the people began to think mean this

0:43:41.640,0:43:46.120
is a lot like slavery[br]me she West Wong

0:43:46.120,0:43:50.010
maybe a little too strong with a black since[br]ive all occasions

0:43:50.010,0:43:56.410
but he had to do it you have to do it[br]to be a leader you got to know who where

0:43:56.410,0:43:59.980
to lay back and you have to know when to say[br]okay guys

0:43:59.980,0:44:06.980
go ahead as do it if you don't do it her[br]whatever the consequences you before

0:44:10.100,0:44:13.360
most newly freed slaves didn't see it that[br]way

0:44:13.360,0:44:17.000
they wanted to work for themselves growing[br]crops for food

0:44:17.000,0:44:22.030
rather than export to says luster began to[br]tarnish

0:44:22.030,0:44:29.030
of[br]Napoli on the other hand was writing honey

0:44:30.350,0:44:35.120
he restructured the government and proclaimed[br]a new constitution for France

0:44:35.120,0:44:40.610
far from enshrining documents a patient[br]it open the door for friends to reinstitute

0:44:40.610,0:44:46.630
slavery[br]in its colonies build

0:44:46.630,0:44:50.300
when the best you heard that he really understood[br]that something was changing

0:44:50.300,0:44:53.410
and more ominously understood that he didn't[br]have any way to influence the

0:44:53.410,0:44:57.230
point well[br]and so what he did in kind of typical to sell

0:44:57.230,0:44:59.760
fashion israel responded by saying[br]okay

0:44:59.760,0:45:03.580
send a magazine have its own loss well here[br]they are I'm in charge here I might

0:45:03.580,0:45:10.580
as well read the Constitution of[br]to say is constitution decreed sleeve we would

0:45:11.500,0:45:18.410
never existence in demand again[br]it was the first in history to prohibit discrimination

0:45:18.410,0:45:25.410
based on skin color a milestone that US law[br]would not guarantee for another 150 years

0:45:29.160,0:45:34.160
the Constitution[br]had troubling elements to get me to send

0:45:34.160,0:45:41.160
governor for life with sole authority[br]to designate his successor and

0:45:41.540,0:45:46.200
two sets great hero to me but this is not[br]a good idea I mean he basically with

0:45:46.200,0:45:51.120
that gesture[br]installed permanent military dictatorship

0:45:51.120,0:45:54.880
which is[br]remained a problem in 84 for two centuries

0:45:54.880,0:45:58.620
taken it down when he needed to do with that[br]I think

0:45:58.620,0:46:03.050
not quite sure why did but that was enough[br]to

0:46:03.050,0:46:10.050
to send the phone and over-the-air urged[br]Napoleon Bonaparte it had enough a revolution

0:46:12.920,0:46:17.570
in according to Napoli lemme the US President[br]thomas jefferson

0:46:17.570,0:46:23.930
shared his view the course packed[br]other black people bleak is equity still being

0:46:23.930,0:46:28.470
to the Spanish[br]the English Andy Americans Jefferson has published

0:46:28.470,0:46:32.740
that at the instant the French he has a high[br]def all measures will be taken to

0:46:32.740,0:46:36.590
stop[br]to sup the fetus up these give the negroes

0:46:36.590,0:46:41.800
and we will have nothing to more[br]to wish for of

0:46:41.800,0:46:48.530
to send tried urgently tuition up a li'l[br]that military logic if nothing else proved

0:46:48.530,0:46:53.650
the merit[br]black ambitions to sign it was writing napoleon

0:46:53.650,0:46:59.950
he wanted so much[br]to be to recognize as saving

0:46:59.950,0:47:06.690
this land for France[br]the his efforts failed

0:47:06.690,0:47:12.540
in 1802 to see was stunned[br]to see the largest French Expeditionary Force

0:47:12.540,0:47:19.540
ever assembled entering cent wings Harbor[br]its mission was simple Napoli all wanted

0:47:20.160,0:47:27.140
to turn back the clock my decision[br]to destroy the authority of the blacks in

0:47:27.140,0:47:31.190
central bank is not so much based on[br]consideration of comments and money

0:47:31.190,0:47:35.010
as on the need to block forever the march[br]of the blacks

0:47:35.010,0:47:42.010
in the world to still go to forty invading[br]French Army for

0:47:42.720,0:47:47.230

France demanded crippling[br]indemnity payments.

0:54:05.520,0:54:06.310
The U.S. refused recognition[br]for sixty years. And a line
