📜 The Haitian Revolution: Roots of Liberty - And here we come full circle. After fighting France for their freedom, then uniting against international powers, you would expect that the fighting would be over for Haiti. But Napoleon Bonaparte had different plans. He would send 80,000 men under the command of Charles Leclerc to fight and arrest Louverture. But Louverure's words will prove to be prophetic. And when the diplomatic Louverture is removed from the picture, France will have to reckon with the wrath of Dessalines.

To the enslaved, colonized and oppressed people of the world, the Haitian Revolution is a symbol of Hope for Freedom and Liberation.
Jean-Jacques Dessalines learning from experience of the “Big Whites”constantly undermining and reversing every freedom, abolition, emancipation, civil rights and liberation won, Jean-Jacques Dessalines gave the order for all the whites in Haiti should be killed, even women and children.
If it wasn’t for the Haitian Revolution, more than half of the United States of America would be under French control, rule, occupation and domination.
The Haitian Revolution is the reason why the French left America. The vast expenditures of French blood and the French treasury used in fighting the enslaved Africans in Haiti, convinced Napoleon Bonaparte to cut his losses in Haiti and focus his conquest on European Wars.
And to help achieve that pursuit, Napoleon Bonaparte sold the vast land of Louisiana, known in history as the Louisiana Purchase, to the United States.
