In the midst of Haiti's civil war between King Henry Christophe and President Alexandre Pétion, a forgotten front opened in the east. In 1811, Christophe's troops laid siege to the Spanish-held city of Santo Domingo, hoping to reclaim the eastern two-thirds of Hispaniola for a unified black state. But the Spanish governor, with a motley garrison of creole militia, Canary Islanders, and former French soldiers, held out behind crumbling walls. Lucas and Luna revisit this nearly erased episode—the siege itself, the role of Haitian maroons who crossed into Spanish territory, and the political calculus that made Christophe abandon the campaign. They also explore the irony of black soldiers besieging a city where freedmen had served in Spanish militias for centuries, and how this failure set the stage for Boyer's 1822 unification. #HaitianHistory #CaribbeanHistory #SantoDomingo #HenryChristophe #Hispaniola #SpanishColonial #SiegeOfSantoDomingo1811 #HaitiDominicanRepublic #Maroons #AlexandrePétion #BlackRepublic #MilitaryHistory #19thCentury #ForgottenWars #Independence #AtlanticWorld #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
