  1. Hello. Everyone will come back for part two of the
  2. crash course.
  3. And this one I'm gonna talk about the Haitian Revolution.
  4. So in context, Haiti was one of the most valuable
  5. columnist in America since they produce large amount of sugar,
  6. tobacco and also cut him the amount off slaves they
  7. had. Waas impressive.
  8. Like really high composing about 90% of the total population
  9. of the island.
  10. And, well, the social classes in Haiti were divided into
  11. four. The first one being white rich men that were,
  12. well, the plantation owners.
  13. Uh, the second we're free black men that they could
  14. possess richness is and they could inherit to their sons
  15. their freedom.
  16. The third will be poor white men, or they were
  17. known as petit blanks or the last one that will
  18. be slaves.
  19. So after the French Revolution took place, the ideals and
  20. influence traveled all the way through Haiti, inspiring slaves.
  21. So at this point, slaves were extremely tired of being
  22. oppressed and mistreated.
  23. So in 1971 they were bolted against the French, led
  24. by two Sanlu mature slaved that became a French general.
  25. And at this point, France had too many problems going
  26. on in the world they were fighting against, uh, like
  27. Britain and other things in Europe.
  28. Also, the French Revolution was happening, so they decided to
  29. free the slaves.
  30. But when Napoleon, when Napoleon took power, he wanted to
  31. regain the lost territory in America.
  32. So he needed money.
  33. Well, how well, by using Haiti, so he needed money
  34. at all means.
  35. So he sent charged the clerk to conquer Haiti again
  36. and in prison labor tour a tw this point This
  37. guy named Jean Jaques This lien continued the independence process
  38. and they fought and Hayden's won't against the French since,
  39. well, sicknesses such as the yellow fever helped the Hayden's
  40. fight them since the Europeans.
  41. Uh, well, these new type of sicknesses were new to
  42. them, so they had a lot of losses of men
  43. to do the yellow fever and talking about it's impact.
  44. I think it's really clear about the Haitian revolution, since
  45. it's one of the biggest and most successful say slave
  46. promoted, since that's the main thing here that the slave
  47. that the slaves apprised and fought for their rights since,
  48. well, this revolution was totally slaves and well, these ended
  49. the slavery and found in the founding off Haiti and
  50. such as Mr Kanye West tweeted in his Twitter account
  51. about how Haiti and the slaves were one of the
  52. first people that revolted against slavery and had the victory.
  53. And I think that's really important, since they were the
  54. first people to stand up for the week and that
  55. no one can tell that no one should be a
  56. slave, and I think that's it for everything.
  57. I hope you like my presentation.
  58. See you soon.
