Synopsis

"Haitian Revolution" explores the groundbreaking slave rebellion in Saint-Domingue, which led to the establishment of Haiti and challenged colonial power structures globally. The book meticulously examines the political, social, and economic conditions that fueled this uprising. It argues that the Haitian Revolution was not merely a local revolt but a crucial event that forced a re-evaluation of racial and social hierarchies worldwide. The revolution's success demonstrated the potential for enslaved people to overthrow their oppressors, influencing subsequent liberation movements and contributing to the rise of abolitionist movements. The book chronicles the revolution's key stages, from initial uprisings to the declaration of independence in 1804, highlighting the roles of pivotal figures like Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines. By incorporating primary and secondary sources, including colonial records and eyewitness accounts, the book paints a vivid picture of the era. It analyzes the complex alliances and betrayals involving French, Spanish, and British forces, offering a fresh perspective on the agency of enslaved people and the revolution's global impact. The book connects the Haitian Revolution to various disciplines like postcolonial studies and African diaspora studies, showing its lasting impact on global thought. It also addresses ongoing controversies surrounding the revolution, such as the role of violence and the legacy of its leaders. This comprehensive analysis makes the book a valuable resource for understanding a pivotal moment in world history and its ongoing relevance to contemporary issues of social justice and equality.

Saratoga and Yorktown: The...

Editors Charles River

At the end of 1776, the American war effort was on the verge of collapse, and despite Washington’s success at Trenton, the British were confident that they could quell the rebellion in 1777. That winter, the British planned a complicated campaign in which British armies from Canada and New York would strike out across New England and link up, with the goal of cutting off the Northern colonies. Indeed, 1777 did prove to be the pivotal year of the war, but not in the way the British intended.
In December 1776, Benjamin Franklin was sent by Congress to France to attempt to secure a critically needed alliance. Franklin was an ideal choice for Enlightened France, which revered Franklin for his scientific accomplishments and his known reputation as a brilliant man. Franklin had also been a diplomat before the Revolution, spending several years in London on behalf of the colonies. However, the French refused to provide more than arms and money throughout 1777, until they learned in December 1777 about Saratoga and Burgoyne’s surrender. With that news, French King Louis XVI entered into a formal military alliance with the United States, and in February 1778, France joined the war.
Yorktown was a former tobacco trading post now in decline, not much bigger than a large village. But Yorktown was tucked away on the northern edge of the York peninsula in rural Virginia, and in 1781 it became the site of a brief siege between two small armies, fought with all the decorum and formality of 18th century European warfare. As he made his dispositions at Yorktown in September 1781, he had every reason to expect another British success. The ensuing siege panned out rather differently. On October 19, 1781, for just the second time during the war (the other at Saratoga), an entire British field army surrendered to the rebel patriots.
