The Haitian Revolution was WILD 🤯 with Handren Seavey

We’re traveling back in time to the 1790’s to learn about all the unbelievable craziness that was the Haitian revolution, the only legitimately successful slave uprising in history. This episode has some WILD info in it, and it is not for the faint of heart. The always hilarious Handren-Seavey joins us as we learn the incredible backstory of the Haitian revolutionary hero Toussaint Louverture, who absolutely needs a historical drama made about his life (we’re looking at you HBO). Get the gritty details about the Haitian warrior who was so prolific on the battlefield he got French soldiers to pause mid battle to give him an applause-break for his bravery. Yes, seriously. And find out how the Haitian revolutionaries were quite possibly responsible for stopping Napoleon from taking over America by keeping him tied up in Haiti. Who knows, if it weren’t for them we might all be speaking French right now. Follow Highly Unlikely on IG Follow Alex on IG Buy a Stash Monkey Box
