"The Haitian Revolution, the product of the first successful slave revolt, was truly world-historic in its impact. When Haiti declared independence in 1804, the leading powers--France, Great Britain, and Spain--suffered an ignominious defeat and the New World was remade. The island revolution also had a profound impact on Haiti's mainland neighbor, the United States. Inspiring the enslaved and partisans of emancipation while striking terror throughout the Southern slaveocracy, it propelled the fledgling nation one step closer to civil war. Gerald Horne's pathbreaking new work explores the complex and often fraught relationship between the United States and the island of Hispaniola. Giving particular attention to the responses of African Americans, Horne surveys the reaction in the United States to the revolutionary process in the nation that became Haiti, the splitting of the island in 1844, which led to the formation of the Dominican Republic, and the failed attempt by the United States to annex both in the 1870s. Drawing upon a rich collection of archival and other primary source materials, Horne deftly weaves together a disparate array of voices--world leaders and diplomats, slaveholders, white abolitionists, and the freedom fighters he terms Black Jacobins. Horne at once illuminates the tangled conflicts of the colonial powers, the commercial interests and imperial ambitions of U.S. elites, and the brutality and tenacity of the American slaveholding class, while never losing sight of the freedom struggles of Africans both on the island and on the mainland, which sought the fulfillment of the emancipatory promise of 18th century republicanism"--Provided by publisher. 10203 Toussaint, Louverture Pierre Dominique, 1743-1803- Jacobinos 9151 Historia Haití Afroamericanos 10199 Relaciones con los haitianos Historia Siglo XIX Esclavitud Aspectos políticos Estados Unidos Historia Siglo XIX 10200 Haití 5877 Historia Revolución, 1791-1804 Haití 10201 Relaciones Estados Unidos Estados Unidos 10202 Relaciones Haití 7 cbc orignew 1 ecip 20 y-gencatlg lcc BK 0 0 lcc 0 0 RR BJB BJB RR 2019-10-21 0 110 E 183.8 H815c 2015 00000140072 2019-10-21 00:00:00 1 2023-04-11 BK
