1.

Haiti used to be named St. Domingue and be a major center for sugar production.

We, the French people want liberty, equality, and fraternity. We overthrew our king because he was greedy and kept our people down. Under the leadership of our glorious leader Napoleon, we will regain St. Domingue and make the French Republic the most prosperous in the world!

On St. Domingue, slaves worked on the sugar plantation

Until one day, they said, “Let’s start our nation!”

Inspired by liberty and the ideals of the French Revolution,

The slaves served their masters some good old fashioned retribution

They said, “I don’t care if I have to wait until I’m eighty…

We won’t rest in peace till we start this here country called Haiti!”
