Stop, collaborate, and listen, because we are FINALLY back with a brand new edition. In 1791 the slaves of Saint Domingue, which is modern day Haiti, rose up in rebellion to overthrow their oppressors. From this chaos came a man who would prove to be an adept leader and cunning politician. He would eventually find a way to eliminate slavery in Haiti and his work would lead to the first sovereign nation in the Caribbean. In this episode we're taking a look at his early life and the first few years of the rebellion. It's a wild and rarely told story, so we are excited to be back to tell it to you. So why don't you grab a drink, settle in, and enjoy this episode of Hundred Proof History titled Toussaint Louverture Part I...Flip Flopping for Freedom!
