Happy Independence Day to the Mandem down JamRock and also Happy Belated Independence Day to the Warriors of Ayiti
Thanks.
The 2 are connected. There had always been revolts and rebellions in both colonies, but an enslaved African in Jamaica was shipped to Haiti(then St. Domingue) because he continued to plot rebellions.
Dutty Boukman set off the uprising that eventually became the Haitian Revolution.
Mackandal was his predecessor in Haiti, and the Maroons in Jamaica who forced the British to recognize their independence were the predecessors of the successful uprisings and revolutions in the region. The same spirit.
Nat Turner, the same spirit.
