Racial discrimination exists in many countries of the world, and those who claim to be noble races regard other races of foreign colors as aliens and do not treat them equally, and this phenomenon still exists even today, and the most widespread racial discrimination is the prejudice of white people against black people, even in the Middle Ages.
White people rely on force to force these black people to become their slaves, but also slaughtered a large number of black races, I don't know that during this period, there was also a black purging of white people in the world, and almost all the white people in the whole country were slaughtered by blacks.
The oppressed Haitian people
When you think of oppressed blacks who have been enslaved, you may think of South Africa at first glance, but the country we are going to talk about today is not South Africa, but Haiti in Latin America, where about 95% of the people are almost all black, and they are basically native Indians.
But with the opening of new shipping routes, after Columbus discovered the Americas, this region was invaded by Western capitalist powers, and the Western countries at this time were much more advanced than these ancient primitive tribes in all aspects, so they invaded most of the countries in Latin America by force, transforming these places into their own colonies, of which the first to occupy the Haitian region was the former sea overlord Spain, which not only occupied the land here, but also forced the local indigenous population to become their own slaves.
At the end of the 17th century, the first industrial revolution began, Spain and other colonial empires gradually declined, Britain and France and other European countries in this industrial revolution rose rapidly, replacing Spain and Portugal and other powerful maritime colonies, so at this time, Haiti this area became the French colony at that time, although the replacement of colonists, but the local indigenous people still can not escape the fate of slavery, still driven by these colonists enslaved.
Most of these black slaves were assigned to plantations to grow sugar cane, coffee and other tropical agricultural crops, and some were assigned to mines to dig for gold, silver, etc. In short, all the dirty work was done by these slaves, and these colonists just sat back and enjoyed, or the extremely selfish accumulation of capital, which brought great suffering to the people of Haiti and undermined the local socio-economic development.
In addition, these colonists also wantonly slaughtered the black race, in that particular era background, these black slaves were not regarded as human beings at all, and even King Louis XIV of France at that time issued an order not only to enslave these blacks, but also to torture these blacks if they resisted or disobeyed orders, even if they were killed, no one was held guilty, and such an order caused many indigenous peoples to be hanged, crucified, buried alive, humiliated and tortured.
The Haitian people rose up in resistance
In the face of such cruel oppression, the Haitian people naturally could not have suffered such humiliation all the time, so at that time a man named Toussaint Louvertur wanted to lead the people of his country against these foreign colonizers, and at the same time he also did a meticulous investigation and study before the uprising, he learned that the French colonists stationed in Haiti totaled more than 30,000 people, and the number of black slaves enslaved in Haiti was more than 500,000, and there were more than 30,000 relatively free indigenous people. If these efforts are united with the people of the country. It would certainly overthrow the colonial rule in Haiti.
So he released the news of the uprising, many oppressed slaves naturally chose to follow him desperately, anyway, horizontal and vertical are dead, why not fight for their own lives, for their own country, it is this belief that made the Haitian people at that time as many as two hundred thousand people follow the Louverture uprising, they burned the plantations of white manor owners, recaptured a large number of land and houses, the local French colonists were also beaten badly, and at the same time, in this resistance, the rebel army captured The Cape of France, Faced with this situation, the king at that time also had to order that all white people be freed from black slavery.
Apparently, the uprising ended in the victory of the people of Haiti, after which Louvertur announced his separation from the Spanish royalists and gradually reclaimed the occupied territories, and the British colonists at that time, faced with such a situation, also chose to sign a contract with them and chose to withdraw from haiti, and by this time, the entire territory of Haiti could be regarded as basically recovered.
Slaughter the white people of the country
However, later when France came to power when Napoleon came to power, he did not want such a colony to be independent, so he launched a war with the intention of invading Haiti again, because he had just experienced a great war, and the army led by Louverture was seriously injured, and the French army was far stronger than the Haitian army in terms of overall training and equipment, which led to the defeat of the rebel army at that time, and in desperation, it could only choose to reconcile.
Did not think that the leader Toussan Louverture was lured to France by Leclerc and imprisoned, this despicable practice greatly aroused the anger of the rebel army at that time, so another general of the rebel army at that time quickly stood up, he was Jacques de Sarin, he led the rebel army to shake the French army hard, carried out a crazy counterattack, such a lifeless attack, so that the French army suffered a great defeat, and finally withdrew from Haiti.
Jacques de Sarin then announced the establishment of the Republic of Haiti, he also became the first emperor in the history of Haiti, after ascending to the throne, De Sarin made a crazy decision, that is, to slaughter all the white people in the country, only in this way can completely clear the remnants of the colonists, but also to avoid the future of white people to re-establish colonies in their own country, the order was issued, the once tortured black soldiers did not hesitate to carry out a large-scale massacre.
According to incomplete statistics, nearly two or three thousand white people died tragically in this massacre, and this incident is also the only black slaughter of white people in history, the scene is extremely bloody, but what is surprising is that for this inhuman massacre, the people of the country have not been stopped, enough to see how much the Haitian people hate these colonial invaders, but no matter what, such a massacre is a kind of cruel innocent action, de Sarin naturally became the object of hatred of many white people. So not long after that, he was assassinated in Port-au-Prince, and Haiti began the process of changing dynasties again.
epilogue
Although Haiti has undergone many revolutions, freed itself from the rule of the European colonial empire and established its own state power, because of the oppression and exploitation of these colonizers, it has caused great damage to the Haitian economy, and it is difficult to change the plight of extreme poverty for a while.
Even now the Haitian people are still living a very hard life, which makes people think deeply about how great the harm caused by brutal colonial rule to other countries and peoples is, so we must uphold the concept of peaceful development and actively advocate and build a new international political and economic order, only in this way can we build a better world.
