Fire and Freedom
from When Women Walked Hosted by History Queen | Madison Givens
They were enslaved, outnumbered, and written off by the world — and they won anyway. This episode tells the story of the Haitian Revolution, one of the most successful slave revolts in history, and the fierce, defiant people who helped burn empires to the ground and birth a nation. But freedom came with a price — literally. Learn how France and the United States weaponized debt and isolation to punish Haiti for daring to be free, and why that stranglehold still echoes today.
