In 1791, the enslaved people of Saint-Domingue rose up against French colonial rule, igniting a thirteen-year struggle that would shatter the Atlantic slave system and birth the world's first Black republic. Lucas and Luna guide listeners through this epic saga: from the brutal sugar plantations of the 18th-century Caribbean to the guerrilla warfare of Toussaint Louverture, the diplomatic betrayals of Napoleon Bonaparte, and the final triumph at Vertières in 1803. They explore the intricate alliances between maroon communities, free people of color, and African-born insurgents; the devastating impact of yellow fever on European armies; and the visionary republic-building of Jean-Jacques Dessalines and Henri Christophe. The show examines how Haiti's revolution reverberated from the Louisiana Purchase to the Latin American wars of independence, and how the young nation was forced to pay a crushing indemnity to France for its freedom—a debt that would cripple its economy for generations. From the construction of the Citadelle Laferrière to the controversial reign of Emperor Faustin I, each episode peels back layers of resilience and tragedy. This is a history of liberation that the West tried to bury—a story of what freedom truly costs and why it still echoes in today's debates about reparations, sovereignty, and racial justice. #HaitianRevolution #ToussaintLouverture #SaintDomingue #JeanJacquesDessalines #CitadelleLaferriRe #HenriChristophe #NapoleonBonaparte #VertiRes #CaribbeanHistory #AtlanticWorld #SlaveryAndResistance #BlackRepublic #LouisianaPurchase #YellowFever #Indemnity #MaroonCommunities #FexingoHistory #History Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • Haiti's 1820 Treaty with the UK: The Freedom Clause That Changed Trade

    Haiti's 1820 Treaty with the UK: The Freedom Clause That Changed Trade
    2026/06/06
    In 1820, Haitian President Jean-Pierre Boyer negotiated a treaty with the United Kingdom that included a clause banning the slave trade and granting British warships the right to search Haitian vessels. This episode explores how Haiti leveraged its anti-slavery stance to secure diplomatic recognition and trade advantages from the world's dominant naval power, while navigating the threat of French reconquest. We examine the negotiations led by British envoy Robert Sutherland, the role of the Royal Navy in suppressing the slave trade, and how Haiti's early commitment to abolition shaped its foreign policy. The treaty marked a pragmatic alliance between the first black republic and the British Empire, balancing idealism with economic survival. #Haiti #JeanPierreBoyer #RobertSutherland #RoyalNavy #SlaveTrade #1820Treaty #BritishEmpire #PortAuPrince #Abolition #SaintDomingue #Hispaniola #CaribbeanHistory #HaitianRevolution #19thCentury #Diplomacy #History #FexingoHistory #Fexingo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • The 1804 Massacre: Haiti's Dark Founding Wound

    The 1804 Massacre: Haiti's Dark Founding Wound
    2026/06/05
    In January 1804, newly declared Emperor Jean-Jacques Dessalines ordered the systematic killing of nearly all remaining French colonists on the island of Saint-Domingue. Over the course of weeks, an estimated three to five thousand white men, women, and children were executed in cities across the country—Gonaïves, Cap-Haïtien, Port-au-Prince, Jérémie. This episode explores the context of the massacre: the brutal legacy of slavery, the wars of independence that preceded it, and the desperate, vengeful logic of Dessalines's order. We examine the targets, the methods, and the exceptions—including the Polish Legionnaires and German planters who were spared. Drawing on survivor accounts and Haitian historiography, we consider the massacre's role as both a foundational trauma and a strategic act of revolutionary violence. What did Dessalines and his generals hope to achieve? And how does this event shape Haiti's relationship with the outside world to this day? This is a difficult but essential chapter in the story of the first Black republic. #Haiti #HaitianRevolution #1804Massacre #JeanJacquesDessalines #SaintDomingue #CapHaitien #PortauPrince #Gonaives #Jeremie #PolishLegion #Rochambeau #Leclerc #ColonialViolence #RevolutionaryViolence #Ayiti #OgouFeray #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Haiti's 1860 Concordat with the Vatican: A Church-State Bargain

    Haiti's 1860 Concordat with the Vatican: A Church-State Bargain
    2026/06/05
    In 1860, Haiti's President Fabre Geffrard signed a concordat with the Vatican, formally ending decades of schism between the Haitian state and the Catholic Church. This episode explores how the arrangement gave Rome control over clerical appointments in exchange for official recognition of Haiti's independence, reshaping religious life on the island. Lucas and Luna discuss the role of the church in education, the lingering tensions with Vodou, and how the concordat sidelined the popular clergy who had supported the revolution. A story of diplomacy, faith, and the long shadow of the 1804 constitution. #Haiti #Concordat1860 #FabreGeffrard #Vatican #CatholicChurch #Vodou #HaitianHistory #CaribbeanHistory #PopePiusIX #PortauPrince #History #FexingoHistory #Revolution #Diplomacy #ChurchState #19thCentury #AntoineSimon #MounAndeyo Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
