Egalite for All Toussaint Louverture and the Haitian Revolution

Up

I am Toussaint Loverture.

My name is perhaps known to you. He was called

the black George Washington the far-off

3 empires in In re aged

Napoli Italy the postback other black
Republic

English

Haitian Revolution

this program was made possible by the
corporation for public broadcasting

and by contributions to your PBS station

from you is like you thank you

the he is always described as the
poorest country in the Western

Hemisphere

I'm but during its hiding

I sent an angry it was the riches place
in the Americas the thing about it does

that is responsible

home rooted slaves its wealth was based

on human capital I owning that human
capital them

own be as long as the song he shines

the main up bending over am

june the game

do well as you know each disappear

therefore you become a 90 min any
respect do leave

black and Yuma no

the diminutive the master had to be
absolute

but that absolute mess self made

the master into something other than
human

as well 1

Liberty equality fraternity that was

noon for the world

to them over to you is the epitome of
humanity

you realize your early on that the
condition he was in was

totally insufferable cushion with to you

recruited about three to four thousand
people

train them game before

the French reach into Spanish

army for twenty years the they burned
the mechanisms of their production

their burning the plantation feels
burning down houses

there was a wholesale massacre under
really really enormous scale

it was a big major paybacks school

the Haitian Revolution is probably the
most profound

evolution ever realized human being

the only please wear sleeves

created in the shin but

nobody wants to talk about

in the summer of 1789 when he was still
the dorm it come on you've seen laying

it was friends to grab the world's
attention

persian mobs rioted against the French
King in against your own

desperate poverty chanting slogans for
liberty

equality and brotherhood they sparked a
revolution

that would feel history books for
centuries to come

the truth about the French Revolution
was that it meant a lot of different

things to a lot of different people

1

one in the streets of Paris the French
Revolution

Minton end to the appalling privileges
as well

the new and France's brand new congress

call the National Assembly it meant the
ideas have Europe's most radical

thinkers

could be realized the nobody knows
exactly what's gonna come out it

but just the idea of up having rights
right the idea that

all people have rights that those rights
are inherent this was something that

obviously floss for said written about
before

but during the course the French
Revolution was written down in a text on

the Declaration of the Rights of Man

it's a dangerous idea because the
society is based on equality

that's what makes it work because it was
not supposed to work for everybody

it was supposed to work for the minority

%uh

what was a dangerous idea and friends
with even more dangerous

and its slave holding colonies off the
coast of Florida

I'll Martinique Greg nope %uh

in I'm unknown as the pearl VNT least

them today the western half is he team

then it was the French colony a sting
domingo

would be

one thing that's fascinating about that
time people think the things we're very

far away

the word on news traveled very

very fast

we have to remember that the ocean was
like a highway maintenance and training

ships were constantly bringing news back
and forth everyone was obsessed with

news

on sailors would come off the ship's
name first people they would talk to the

people they would work with as they were
unloading ships

were enslaved people sell their reports
were describing the events that have

been going on in Paris to

to then sleep that are working alongside
it happens

%uh few intended clone your sleeves

should take democratic eighty years too
hard I'll

with

far too much was at stake sugar grease
the wheels

eighteenth century economy insane domain

was the sugar capital of the world

me

dome

0

it was easy even for France's political
radicals

to ignore the agony that made it all
possible

well believes

on do sugar cane are just like

me miss kunin saw give the

got you you may not even seed been when
you

perspire the switch get see any burns

into rooms the app ants the bite

in when the bank you you we scratch
yourself

480 you too will grow

used to work with these the it all

would you just shoot him at songs

the whole concept of slavery itself is
it totally savage one

the French the brought it down to a
science

slave coming from Africa would not last
three years

the way the system he was organized

they had it down to that kinda
statistics did did very systematic and

it was very successful 'em

slavery into new meaning succeeded to on
a foundation

completely sterile him

sleeve owner can you last see flash

explained it as rational management

sloping ish mint naked veteran questions
and quick

for violent ones but causes and 50
lashes and Minister than five minutes

25 lashes do with administered in a
bottle of an hour

this is far more likely to make an
impression

so much week

the accounts about the tortures
inflicted in states are are often

horrifying

legs cut off her arms cut-off
amputations for runaways

running high power are pepper and so
forth into the ones

slaves actually hung and left to die but

I

you can kinda imagine that that's kinda
world in which

essential human life was given so little
value at the structures were kinda

refined to this incredible cool factor
%uh

despite the brutal tools have controlled
some blacks managed to escape slavery

the many had been born free fathered by
white planters

%uh others had gained freedom to their
own wits

or talents 0 one such man 0

was to see nuclear to lemme

I was born his sleigh but need you give
me to sue

of the freemen them

home

too similar to you wasn't really
determine men

she was a premium issues man and in my
opinion

he was a genius con

to saturn has I think when the most
incredible figures

and I know that in in many ways

he's born on a plantation in sending he
grows up

on their plantations that plantation was
blown by a man who was tolerant for the

times

to seal was talk to read invite as a
child

he eventually occupies a a somewhat
privileged role you can see that on

plantations as encouragement

and has a kinda relationship with the
managers and ministers

some ways he becomes free in the 1770s

so he's somebody who can occupy
different roles in society and I think

that's the key

for understanding to Sat is that he saw
possibilities

where other people didn't work

I'll he had businesses

had contacts in the US and elsewhere
bank account

manages affairs pretty well the man was
enlisting

organizational capacity I mean you would
have been a fantastic CEO today

done

him

to say didn't record his first reactions
the revolution and friends

but his fellow free syndrome England's
the white colonials

in the mixed-race population which
transfixed

%uh

and 1789 there were about forty thousand
white people

and about 30,000 collar people they were
person there

signs and cousins and so on and so forth
who are land owners themselves

many of them slave owners themselves
many of them

very effective businessman many of them

involved romantically with the white
master class

the world when everything's it's
important to remember that Haiti

and races it was it simply black and
white

instead you had numerous cretaceous have
color

the new one historian went so far

as to who give 110 categories of color

from absolute black to absolute white

and two each combination he gave a name
mulatto

squadron mama Luke

and what he was accounted for was the
drops

I've black blood by

why it's hoped for more control over the
colonies governance

but the colonies mixed-race population

hoped for more fundamental changes they
had been born free

but not equal mmm

they had two shoe fees equal respect

from the white stained 0 when

the I'm presence of a white called him
beast

to Ole whatever title do want to do

hope it was not easy for them

in that exactly why do i do first one
before the blacks

you're the first one to ask for

equality

the

the mixed-race population of steaming
decided their tunes had come

in 1791

dissent a petition to France's new
government asking for the rights

of citizenship

this is a powerful message to have been
taking place in the society

that was explicitly organized

on any quality

just like dynamite the petition asked
for civil protections

in In re the island's white population

working-class colonists begin a
full-scale intimidation campaign

they threatened the in murdered
mysteries precedent

in the capital things

but the petition made a different
reception back in Paris

the new breed of delegate to the
National Assembly

issued a landmark decreed distended

equal rights to the small population and
mixed-race people

born 23 parents the new

ok

despite the reforms limited extent the
governor sununu Ming

refused to obey by colonial white

help of only be trade some such as a

me Madame Du Freak begin discussing
radical thoughts have their own home

the National Assembly is committed to
destroying our lives as mast house

to give you some pain idea of what this
would have been like if you're there

the eruption of violence

put to Silvio to your in a difficult
position

his own fortunes were tied to the
plantation system

and he'd straddled the white in black

raging violence was based neither one

former owners

it skidded to send a vessel did return
to the plantation

an elitism instruction and kind of
maintain order there

and there's only there's a question a
question why why would he do that

I think to Sam was somebody who on

understood the value of have I am
humanity

in many ways rainy I think you probably
had game that precisely from being on

the

then receiving end of slavery

it was an act the extraordinary risk the

but the ultimate prospects but poor few

experience in military strategy in the
head

new unifying history or long-term vision

the fact is lot of people didn't really
know what freedom

was supposed to look like nobody had
really even the rise dramatic this

before

well to see

on the other hand had a unique window on
the world

he was schooled in African in European

right now refer to him as a black

Spartacus

%uh descends literate person there's no
way you wouldn't miss this

my as rebel leaders struggled

to forge a discipline fighting forced to
says

talents in intellect set him apart loan

then in December 1791

some four months after the rebellion
began black enthusiasm

begin to crumbled

the new French government in Paris sit
more than 10,000 military reinforcements

to help the colonists me establish white
world

supplies were scarce in the mountains

in Winter Park famine to the rebel mine
used

thousands begin to surrender him

to celebrate here was not somebody who
like balance really

he was good at if he had to do it but he
preferred two years

I negotiation diplomacy gal trickery
anything

by benefiting where he kill you know bro
but he try anything else first

to send a bill to with

AST to write up a settlement or for in
exchange for the freedom of two hundred

sleeve leaders

in better working conditions on the
plantations

the proposal offered to send most to the
rebels

back to the plantation it was a stark
recognition

and eighteenth-century realities

sometimes it's easy to look back at this
and suggest that they were willing to

sell out their followers

while the terms I think it's truer are
troubling in some ways

they were also trying to see some change
I think the key here is that it was

really difficult to imagine that your
actually

eliminate slavery

new friends commissioners

had just arrived from Paris to restore
order

more liberal than the planters the
emerge soon remains whites

to accept the rebels or for in a costly

leaders to the capital a new camp the
negotiations

trust was minimal some sleep rebels

wanted to kill their white prisoners but
to still go to Europe

argued against it he wanted the white
return to look at as a gesture of

goodwill

him

well

so too sad is sent in negotiated with
the planters with the idea that in a

sense a settlement can be reached

I'm this settlement is not only for the
freedom

sum up the insurgent leaders but also
for some reforms on the plantation

small reforms for reforms that at least
in the letters they describe

their followers really want whether the
small group leaders

actually would have had the power to say
to all these people at a techno care

going back to work now here's who
chained

I don't know as it happened or why
people were so short-sighted that they

didn't even given the opportunity to try

of the way to No this in no

because adept I'm the order one wanted
revenge

before getting what they have done for
three centuries in the thing to do under

victims indeed being

so they have to avenge themselves

should be not going to forgive will
forget ATT

do we fused of course he's taken up arms
against and

but at the same time he's made a lot of
concessions and its struggle against his

own followers

to say look we're going to treat the
prisoners well we're gonna trade with

them

willing to make a deal and to have that
refused by

the planter class I think certainly must
have Hannah are radicalizing a fact

to see his support for settlement
abruptly ended

in with it the best deal the whites
would ever see

up

my I'll

the

back in rooms the democratic revolution

had to read to terror France's
revolutionary army

was at war with neighboring countries
its radical the news site to purge

themselves

any means from within executed

houses

in andrew Lee 1793

they did the unthinkable see the
revolutionary government

beheaded the key

a pass in France for going faster than

than anyone ever intended I mean this is

volcanic up people a true class
revolution turned everything completely

upside down and each

reptile they came out with strike this
year as a setup man

one of the biggest ripples from friends
that washed interest in two main source

was a commissioner named lazy PCT

so till next blood

he was a French revolutionary with
radical ideas

about life in the colony 0

southern axe arrives and send him and
having already

had bad word said about him their people
actually written from from france

to the colonists annexing watch out for
this guy

he's an abolitionist he wants to abolish
slavery I would much still remains

mixed-race population

had so far retained its fragile line
mint

with the white system to ensure that
continued

so tonight's created representational
Council

on the island invited mixed-race
citizens to serve

he even brought makes treatment into the
cool new government

home and a lot of light enters a really
really

upset about that and and CNS as

that is a really destructive force

the way planters had cause for worry
left in two years after joining the

rebellion

to Silvio tour had risen to the top the
rebel army

I am

to send jeered my name is perhaps known
to you

in 1793 you vote in open letter

to the island disenfranchised I have

undertaken vengeance out like Liberty

inequality to rein in Sydney

I work to bring damn into existence

unite yourselves to us providers and
fight

with us for the same cause with his
letter

he announces to think denounces first
while his commitment to the process

the project implementation and announces
his presence

as a leader maybe even the leader he has

gained great respect from his followers
and with this proclamation he's

essentially saying

you want freedom and I'm the one is
going to bring you that freedom

so and the person to follow in this
regard

but to see it this time was addressing
the wider world

to %uh he was particularly focused

on Spain's the Spanish wanted to wrestle
the colony

away from Prince for two reasons

first colony was velly velly prosperous

in spite of the war and second

that prosperity was used by the French
Revolution to combat beim

in Europe

Spain controlled Swimming's neighboring
colony

so in juneau 1793 too soon struck a deal

0 Spanish garrisons just over the border

provided guns and ammunition to the
sleeve army

can tip the balance their way %uh

to since forces captured three cities
within eight months

well

I'm

cinnamon is why plan to use were
desperate many heeded

the new order and friends in a
treasonous moved

invited the British to help put down the
slave rebellions

now the Empire's a friend Speen

end England along with the vast army of
former slaves

were fighting for controlled the small

Island colony the

then in early 1794

event in Paris caused another explosion

in the colony 0 a multi-racial
delegation from cinema and

had appeared in France's national
assembly 0

they had been sent by commissioners
total max with a dramatic message

he had pledged freedom personal minks
leaves

for fighting the army's Britain and
Spain

p.m. a series made a compelling argument

I these are the principles and the
ideals a France

and we fully represent them and we want
to wish to continue represent them

on our Island so we've come to present
arguments about why

we are in fact truly committed to those
ideas and principles

and how weeping a-minus these principles
on the French Revolution more

I think it was very powerful for the
representatives to France to hear

essentially that what happened in the
carribean is at the white slave owners

had deserted France they had gone over
to the British they had fought against

the Republic

and the true people the true republicans
in Santa Marg

where these enslave people who just want
to their freedom the French National

Assembly

endorse the emancipation have sent a
monkey in sleeves

but that was not all the delegates freed
slaves throughout the entire

empire to Anders

rejoicing in celebration there's an
older woman

a free woman of color has traditionally
gone to the debates

who some sheds tears in his brought down
and celebrated

and Sparta this moment and their
speeches in Paris celebrations event

throughout france

it's really seen as a kind triumph for
the French Revolution for the ideals of

the French Revolution

that this worst form of hierarchy
enslavement

and oppression has been abolished I'm in
the Caribbean

it was are truly unprecedented in a
stroke nearly a million black flames

had become fringe citizens

I'll

old

who simply word that the French
Revolutionary Government had freed

slaves

to say he's very for you so the next as
long as a Mac conserve his brothers

now and nothing personal about it was at
the lag because users you will send him

back

over there let's a simple as that %uh

the MMM in 1797

to say in fact no longer needed
something next

in a series of political maneuvers he
isolated the civil Commissioner

in August he forced into an annex of the
island

to still go to a child

again I'm in 1798

has to send a bill to was evicting the
last the British

from his Thailand in other fringe
general battle British

interest halfway around the world in
Egypt

his name was Napoli lemme

Bonaparte

am will to sign a pulling in many ways
are for similar

both were a little bit from the margins
in French society

they succeeded through military
brilliance

near both incredible military leaders
and they became political leaders as a

result of their military

experience on

but napoleon's victories would put two
sons at Bristol

just months after conquering Egypt
Napoli all marched into Paris

a coup d'état toppled the revolutionary
government

in a polio took the reins of power the
revolution is

over he declared hi in the revolution

on

as an appalling is rising to power in
France to sounds watching closely

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

very powerful

pro-slavery voices in France who were
added

were agitating against him attacking him
and proposing

that slavery actually be recreated in
some form and sentiment

the Disney to say believes in doing
survival

in the survival of freedom itself
depended on his ability

to mobilize people need to rebuild the
devastated economy

into says mind that meant learned

being his black followers

should return to the Keen fields there
were some compelling reasons for this I

mean mainly into says situation

he was really in a bind at that point
%ah

in the sense that his hope for peace was
restoring product productivity on the

plantations

recreating the sugar trade in
particularly but

nobody wanted to go back for so he
pretty well had to force them

and then people began to think mean this
is a lot like slavery

me she West Wong

maybe a little too strong leader blacks
in several locations

but he had to do it he have to do it

to be a leader you got control where

to lay back and love to know and you say
okay guys

go ahead as do it if you don't do it ho

by there were no consequences year
before

most newly freed slaves didn't see it
that way

they wanted to work for themselves
growing crops for food

rather than export to since last yr
began to tarnish

up

Napoli on the other hand

was riding high he restructured the
government

and proclaimed a new constitution for
France far from enshrining black

emancipation

it open the door for friends to
reinstitute slavery

in its colonies build

when the best you heard that he really
understood that something was changing

and more ominously understood that he
didn't have any way to influence the

point well

and so what he did and kinda typical to
San fashion israel responded by saying

okay

send a magazine have its own loss well
here they are I'm in charge here I might

as well read the Constitution

for of

to see his constitution decreed slavery
would never existence in new mango gang

it was the first in history to prohibit
discrimination

based on skin color a milestone

that US law would not guarantee for
another 150 years

the Constitution

had troubling elements to it made 27

governor for life with sole authority

to designate his successor and

to sass great hero to me but this was
not a good idea I mean he basically with

that gesture

installed permanent military
dictatorship which is

remain a problem in 84 for two centuries

taken it down when he needed to do with
that I think

not quite sure why to but that was
enough to understand that only an

over-the-air

urged

Napoli on bonaparte it had enough a
revolution

in according to Napoli lemme the US
President

thomas jefferson shared his view them

the post that other black people bleak
his equally disturbing to the Spanish

the English and the Americans Jefferson
has published

that at the instant the French he has a
hybrid all measures will be taken to

stop

to sup the fetus have the skill in the
house and we will have nothing

mold to wishful up

to send tried urgently tuition Apple
real

that military logic if nothing else
proved the merit

and black ambitions to sign it was
writing napoleon he wanted so much
