Blacks in Haiti freed themselves in a war that lasted from 08/21/1791-01/01/1804

White Americans were late to the issue.

What a nice spot you sit in here in the 21st century judging the past through such a silly lens.

It is not a silly lens. We analyze the past specifically to prevent us from repeating errors. Slavery is wrong. Africans fought it on the African continent, Africans fought on ships during the Middle Passage. Enslaved people engaged in rebellions in the colonies and the United States.

I do not want people like you anywhere near teaching my children.

I dont want racist Marxist like you anywhere near my children, so the feeling is mutual.

Lol. Conservatives use Marxist, CRT, and Woke as distraction. My post points out Blacks fighting back against oppression. Try to keep up.

Edit to add:

Conservative arguments are so weak that it is not surprising that they have to use authoritarian tactics to get their widely rejected policies enacted.
