Show Notes

The Haitian Revolution wasn’t just a revolt—it was a surgical military decapitation of a global superpower. Why was a French officer found with a white orchid in his mouth? Discover the gritty truth.

In this deep-dive into Caribbean History, we explore the Haitian Revolution 1791 through a hardline, forensic lens. This is the story of how Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines led a "sleeper cell" network of enslaved people to defeat Napoleon Bonaparte’s finest troops. We investigate the Battle of Vertières, the biological warfare of Yellow Fever, and the "White Orchid" mystery that funded a new republic.
