[happy character pointing at a painting of a french resistance fighter holding a molotov cocktail] Freedom fighters! Those people were heroes for fighting against oppression
[angry character shoving their smartphone in our face with a picture of a palestinian holding a rock] Evil terrorists! Those people are monsters for fighting against oppression
I would say the difference is only skin deep.
The peaceful guillotine protest must be brought back
i like how they used the french slogan and considering that the made an exception for haiti while thier revolution was happening. lol
The relationship between the French and Haitian revolutions is interesting and complex.
Some French revolutionaries believed in Liberty, Equality, and Fraternity (but not for blacls cmon let’s not go too far here!)
Then others like the Societé des Amis des Noirs felt that liberation had to include ending slavery too.
France abolished slavery throughout its empire in 1794, and the Haitian revolution in its last phase 1801-1803 was really against the Napoleonic counterrevolution which had reinstated slavery in Guadeloupe. The Haitians feared he’d do the same there.
thanks for the knowledge drop
