>>1188724I had a sensible chuckle at that.
>>1189846Yeah, Dessalines. He was brutal as fuck, but then again, the leader on the other side, Rochambeau, was even more brutal. He was so sadistic that he'd do crazy shite like boiling his enemies and burying them alive under mounds of insects. It'd probably be more apt to compare him to Vlad the Impaler instead.
And the revolution didn't work out great for them, but that's partially because France made them pay for the goods they lost during the revolt (a.k.a the slaves themselves) so they were essentially buying their own freedom. They were still paying back this massive debt well into the 20th century, long after slavery had been abolished all across the western world. I suppose it's better than being slaves at least.
