Some of the topics covered in the first part of this book
The Haitian Revolution was a slave rebellion that began in 1791 in the French colony of Saint-Domingue, now known as Haiti. On this small island, the tyrants were the slave owners, people who not only denied their slaves freedom, but felt justified in killing them.

The Haitian Revolution began to change the way slaves were viewed all over the world. Although it took nearly another 100 years to eradicate slavery in the west, the parallels between what the Americans and French had done to the slaves was impossible to ignore. The Haitian Revolution was the first and only time that a slave rebellion resulted in a new state.

kindle unlimited, pretty sure have read these separately, nothing against the book/s or the writer, but am quite bad at names and titles, but if you have read one or the other, the double pack is still interesting in dual perspective etc

Great Primer

Trying to cover 600 years of the history of Africans in America is tough to cover - especially in a short read. However, the book provides a primer for anyone interested in starting to learn about African American history, and in the case of the Haitian Revolution, the only truly successful slave revolt in history. A great primer and good start to your learning.
