Touissant L’Ouverture played a big role in this that history tends to overlook. After France reacquired the Louisiana territory from Spain, the colony of St. Dominique (Haiti) was to be a major farming colony for the territory. But in 1791, L’Ouverture led a revolution in the colony that would become Haiti at the same time that France was fighting England. What Napoleon thought would be an easy victory eventually proved to be too much for Napoleon’s armies. At the time of the Louisiana Purchase, which was originally a proposed purchase of New Orleans for $15 million, the Haitians had thrown out French rule. Napoleon, realizing he had lost and feeling he could not support the territory without Haiti, decided to just give the entire territory for $15 million rather than just New Orleans. But history likes to overlook the role of L’Ouverture and Haiti, which became the first black republic in the Western Hemisphere.

The first Black pianist to win national fame was Thomas Greene Bethune, [Blind Tom]. He was also the first black artist known to have performed at the White House. Then about ten years old, he played the piano for President James Buchanan. Born a slave near Columbus, Georgia, Bethune’s talent as a composer and a pianist was soon recognized by Colonel Bethune, who had purchased him in 1850. The child prodigy made his debut in Savannah, Georgia, and for more than 40 years amazed his audiences “with his artistry and his gift for total recall” of the more than seven hundred pieces that he played. Bethune had sporadic formal training and is said to have composed more than a hundred works. The most celebrated of the early black pianists, he began a tour of Europe in 1866 that netted $100,000.

The photo was taken by Harry Burnett at Cal Tech in Pasadena where Albert Einstein was teaching. Einstein saw the puppet perform at the Teato Torito and was quite amused. He reached into his jacket’s breast pocket, pulled out a letter and crumpled it up. Speaking in German, he said, “The puppet wasn’t fat enough!” He laughed and stuffed the crumpled letter up under the smock to give the puppet a fatter belly.
In 1903, a prisoner named Will West arrived at Leavenworth. The record clerk took the photographs above and, thinking he remembered West, asked whether he had been there before. West said no.
The clerk took some measurements, went to the file, and produced this record, bearing the name William West:
Amazed, the prisoner said, "That's my picture, but I don't know where you got it, for I know I have never been here before."
Incredibly, this was true. A different William West had been serving a life sentence at Leavenworth since 1901, and the new prisoner had the same name, face, and measurements.
The case became a strong argument in favor of the new science of fingerprinting

The Egyptian wallpaintings have survived due to Egypt’s extremely dry climate. The paintings were often made with the intent of making a pleasant afterlife for the deceased. The themes included journey through the afterworld or protective deities introducing the deceased to the gods of the underworld. Some tomb paintings show activities that the deceased were involved in when they were alive and wished to carry on doing for eternity. Egyptian paintings are painted in such a way to show a profile view and a side view of the animal or person, e.g. the painting to the right shows the head from a profile view and the body from a frontal view. Their main colors were red, blue, black, gold, and green.

RUNNING AWAY AND REBELLING.
Christmas was a popular time of year to run away from one’s master and to seek freedom in the North. Slaves reasoned that they were less likely to be missed at home or apprehended on the roads at Christmas time than at any other time of the year. They would not be expected to show up for their daily chores until after the holiday. Furthermore, whites were accustomed to seeing many black wayfarers on the streets and byways during the holiday season. The liberties allowed to slaves at Christmas time may also have inspired a number of slave revolts. One historian has estimated that approximately one third of both documented and rumored slave rebellions occurred around Christmas. In the year 1856, slave revolts occurred in nearly every slave-holding state at Christmas time.

On January 1, 1804, Jean-Jacques Dessalines—who had assumed leadership of the revolution after Toussaint L’ouverture’s 1802 capture by the French army—declared Saint-Domingue’s independence. The new republic adopted the original pre-Columbian Arawak name of Haiti, meaning “mountainous land.” The black revolutionaries, who had been fighting since 1791, had crushed Napoleon’s 43,000-man army in December 1803. Within 12 years, they had fought against and defeated not only the French colonists but also the French, Spanish, and British armies. For an army of ex-slaves to turn their rebellion into a decade-long revolution, and to defeat an entire network of empires, is stunning. Add that to Haiti’s unprecedented title of first Black republic (a political anomaly of the time), and you have quite the victory. Take today to honor the freedom fighters and the history!

White people are always posing with someone being tortured, hanged, killed, etc. Something is inherently evil about them on the dna level.

Today in labor history, January 8, 1811: The largest slave revolt in U.S. history begins on Louisiana’s German Coast sugar plantations. Armed primarily with hand tools, the men marched toward New Orleans, setting plantations and crops on fire and adding to their numbers as they went. The uprising of an estimated 300-500 people lasted for two days before it was brutally suppressed by the military.

^^^^ They're too damn comfortable doing this kind of horrific shit for centuries. I wouldn't be at all surprised if geneticists discover something triggered at the celluar level in these white devils.
