Why doesHaitian History matters. The context: blood, bondage,sweet and tears. The rape of African continent. The slaves trade. Black code. The winds of revolution. Portraits of the protagonists: les Marrons, Bookman, Louverture, Dessalines, Bonaparte, Leclerc Etc.. The Haitian war of independence :David against Goliath.
The first fights reveal the military talents of a 48 - year-old named Francois Toussaint l’ouverture. He receive a basic education. When the insurrection broke out, he didn’t take long for him to demonstrate his courage and his talents as a strategist. I invite to pay attention to the narration.
