Short Suck #51: Greatest Slave Rebellion in History: The Haitian Revolution

Short Suck #51: Greatest Slave Rebellion in History: The Haitian Revolution

In this Short Suck, we dive into the Haitian Revolution - the only truly successful large-scale slave revolt in human history - where the enslaved people of Saint-Domingue rose up, burned France's “cash machine” to the ground, and then fought France, Spain, and Britain for more than a decade to create Haiti. It’s a brutal, twisty, holy shit how do we not already know this story full of battlefield genius, betrayals, and legendary speeches.
