Haitian revolution

The Haitian revolution was actually the part of the French revolutionary war. The Haitian revolution started at  August fourteenth, seventeen ninety one and ended at January one, eighteen o four. The Haitian revolution was really long because it was more than ten years long, thirteen long years to be exact. That is long it was longer than french revolution, it was three years longer than it were are going to talk about four revolutions in a row so this month is going to be revolution month. A lot of people died in the Haitian revolution, about one hundred twenty five thousand citizens died. That is a lot, right a lot of people died because it was a really huge war but that is not all of the deaths that is just the civilians deaths a lot of soldiers died too some people in the war died of the yellow fever it is a type of sickness that I don't know about.

Napoleon was fighting in the Haitian revolution but he died eight years after the Haitian revolution and he was french. There are so many revolutions, good thing we are going to talk about some of them but not all of them. Slavery was in the Haitian revolution, like almost all the stuff we talk about has slavery. The Haitians won in the Haitian revolution that is why it is called Haitian revolution and all revolutions that have a country in the name that means that they won in the revolutions. The french went all the way to Haiti that is very long because France is at Europe and Haiti is close to America that will take really long. The Haitian revolution was long like all the revolution because normally revolutions are five years or longer that is very long that is more than a thousand days because each year is three hundred sixty five days long.

The Haitian revolution was a slave revolt in the French colony of Saint Domingue and slave revolt means a slave rebellion, so the slaves were attacking their masters because the masters are terrible to them. They sometimes torture them terribly. This happens a lot of time even before the Haitian revolution like the Atlantic slave trade. The Spanish wanted a lot of silver so they made slaves do it but some slaves do not attack their masters, they just keep on doing the work until they die but the slaves from the Haitian revolution rebelled and some of them died but not all the good thing that at this year slavery is really rare and slavery is terrible but the slave masters do not care they are just lazy because they don't want to do all the work and they don't really care if the slave gets hurt.

The slave revolt
The Haitian revolution was part of the french revolutionary wars. Haiti won the Haitian revolution. Everybody in the Haitian revolution were unhappy because some people friends got killed in the war some people family were killed in the war and a lot of other like the slaves were unhappy when they were slaves but they were still a little bit sad because other slaves were killed. Slavery is all over history some history lessons are all about slaves, this is how slavery starts people get them while they sleep and then they say if you don't do what we say we will torture you or do something like that so they do what they say and they might sell them to another person to get more money and they just spend the money and they might get another slave or they might keep them as their own slave and they don't care about any.

Spain only fought for two years in the Haitian revolution but the other countries stopped when the Haitian revolution ended. The french royalists together with Haiti, great Britain and Spain were fighting the french first republic and the polish regions and they lost because four countries were fighting two countries. The french first republic and the polish regions were invading Haiti so great Britain, Spain and the french royalists fought with Haiti and then they successfully protect the country. You can see a picture of the slave revolt it is the only picture in this blog and you can see a slave holding a soldier's head, the slaves did not care about the soldiers getting killed because the soldiers did not care about them being slave and them getting tortured by people. The slaves were really strong they had swords spears and you can also see that in the picture this is the end of my blog.
