Haitian Revolution started in 1791. Cotton gin was invented in 1794.
Ergo, they were not in Haiti to pick cotton. Haitian slave trade started in...?
One thing I noticed about this video, they spin Aristide as being just a sweet priest (which they don’t mention) who wanted reparations from France. He was actually advocating violence towards the Haitian upper class from the getgo. They also call those who rebelled against Aristide “extreme right wingers,” but I couldn’t help noticing that the protestors at the presidential palace and celebrating triumphally after his resignation were all totally black. I thought all of Haiti’s right wing were mulatto.
The video was informative in many ways, but the authors are obviously left-wing to some extent. Even so, they provided plenty of useful facts in an accessible format, but much of what they say has got to be taken with a tumbler of salt.
