Talk:Haitian Revolution

message: A major aspect of the historiography of the French Revolution is the ‘silencing’ of the Haitian Revolution and the imperialist dimension of the French Revolution.
On the ‘silencing’ of the Haitian Revolution, Michel-Rolph Trouillot wrote Silencing the Past: Power and the Production of History.
In Tropics of Haiti, Marlene Daut wrote: “It is by now rather commonplace in academic circles to refer to the idea that the Haitian Revolution has been ‘silenced’ for the past two centuries in both scholarship and popular history.”
She also wrote, in a 2021 article published in the New York Times, “Napoleon Isn’t a Hero to Celebrate”:
“...the French education system, which I taught in from 2002 to 2003, encourages the belief that France is a colorblind country with an “emancipatory history.” When French schools do teach colonial history, they routinely tout that the country was the first of the European world powers to abolish slavery.”
There is no mention of these facts in the article. Wordyhs (talk) 13:32, 29 October 2023 (UTC)
replies: text: Wordyhs, I agree. The 'historiography' section in general needs a lot of filling out. — Remsense聊 13:56, 29 October 2023 (UTC)

message: add "The troops who came to Saint-Domingo from Britain had an extremely low survival rate often dying to diseases such as the Yellow Fever epidemic. To maintain strong regiments, however, the British Government would send less trained adolescents to keep numbers up. The incompetence of the new soldiers, combined with the ravaging of disease upon the army, led to a very unsuccessful campaign in Saint-Domingo." after "Henry Dundas, 1st Viscount Melville, who was Pitt's Secretary of State for War, instructed Sir Adam Williamson, the lieutenant-governor of the Colony of Jamaica, to sign an agreement with representatives of the French colonists that promised to restore the Ancien Régime, slavery and discrimination against mixed-race colonists, a move that drew criticism from abolitionists William Wilberforce and Thomas Clarkson."
