    Its funny since lots of revolutions only really succeeded due to another state actor involved. Imagine being against the Haitian revolution because you think its just some psyop by the Americans to harm the French

    edit: To clarify I don’t know if the Haitians NEEDED the US, but the US did help

      The Hatian revolution didn’t really succeed either. Dessalines basically just re-enslaved everyone but they all started to slowly starve because nobody would trade with them after the rampage.
