@Regranned from @welcome_to_haiti - Victoria "Toya" Montou (died 1805) was a female soldier and freedom fighter in the army of Jean-Jacques Dessalines during the Haitian Revolution. She was the person who raised Dessalines, Dessalines was given to her by his dying mother in a forest right after being birthed. Toya was in the forest looking for plants to help her commit suicide.( watch my PREVIOUS POST) ( I had to slightly edit, because Wiki don't have all of the faccts) Toya Montou was not the only woman to serve in the Haitian army during the revolution, but mostly, the names of the female soldiers are forgotten; other exceptions are Marie-Jeanne Lamartiniére, who served at the Battle of Crête-à-Pierrot in 1802, and Sanité Belair. Before the revolution, Montou had worked alongside Dessalines as a slave. She was described as intelligent and energetic, and shared a close relationship with Dessalines and the same hatred toward slavery. During the slave rebellion and civil war, she fought as a soldier in active service; on at least one documented occasion, she commanded soldiers in action during battle. In 1804, Dessalines became emperor. When Montou was dying, the emperor demanded the doctor to treat her as he would him, and stated that Toya was his aunt who had shared his feelings since before the revolution. She was given a state funeral with a procession of eight sergeants and Empress Marie-Claire Heureuse ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ #LAKAY#WELCOMETOHAITI #HAITIANSBELIKE #1804 #AFRICA #AFRICANBLOOD #WESTINDIES #WESTINDIAN #ISLAND #HAITI #AYITI  #ISLANDLIFE #carribean #CARIBBEAN  #LAKAY #CARRIBEAN #CARIBBEAN #HAITIANSBELIKE #AYITI #FIRSTBLACKREPUBLIC #SOUPJOUMOU #BLACKREPUBLIC #DUTTYBOUKMAN #BOISCAIMAN #HAPPYNEWYEAR #HAITIANAFFIRMATION #HAITIANINDEPENDENCE #HAITIANREVOLUTION

#Repost @the.kraal • • • • • • August 14, 1791. Dutty Boukman alongside Cecile Fatiman, realized the feat of secretly gathering hundreds of captives from all over Haïti on a hilltop called Bwa Kayiman (Bois Caiman). There, Boukman, also the spiritual leader of the revolution, gave instructions to synchronize the first major revolt in the history of Haiti. . The uprising happened simultaneously everywhere on the island. Thousands of African captives set fire to the plantations, stole rifles and killed slave masters. The revolt lasted for about 10 days, after which Boukman was eventually captured, tortured, killed and beheaded. The French exposed his head for several days to destabilize the rest of the revolutionaries. . Discouraged by the loss of their leader, the insurgents ended up losing. Although the rebellion failed to free Haitians, it inspired the following generations and empowered other heroes like Toussaint Louverture and Jean Jacques Dessalines. Bois Caiman was certainly the trigger that led to Haiti’s independence on January 1, 1804. . Haiti is the first black nation to emancipate itself by force and was probably the lighthouse that guided the end of slavery. Much respect & love for the people of Haïti 🇭🇹🖤✊🏿 #AFRICANISM101 @grandeurnoire 🙏🏿 #history #haiti #haitianvodou #independence #dessalines #toussaintlouverture #duttybookman #slavery #uprising #duttyboukman #ritual #ayiti #cecilefatiman #kayiman #boiscaiman #voodoo #blackpig #voodooritual #vodou #vodouceremony #today #14aug #1791 https://www.instagram.com/p/B1J-ePqj0Dt/?igshid=2tz5h0afid4h

@Regranned from @welcome_to_haiti - Bois Caïman (Haitian Creole: Bwa Kayiman) is the site of the Vodou ceremony during which the first major slave insurrection of the Haitian Revolution was planned. On the night of August 14, 1791, representative slaves from nearby plantations gathered to participate in a secret ceremony conducted in the woods by nearby Le Cap in the French colony of Saint-Domingue. Presided over by Dutty Boukman, a prominent slave leader and Vodou priest, the ceremony served as both a religious ritual and strategic meeting as conspirators met and planned a revolt against the ruling white planters of the colony's wealthy Northern Plain. The following prayer said by Dutty Boukman has been attributed to that night, translated as: ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ Good Lord who hath made the sun that shines upon us, that riseth from the sea, who maketh the storm to roar; and governeth the thunders, The Lord is hidden in the heavens, and there He watcheth over us. The Lord seeth what the blancs have done. Their god commandeth crimes, ours giveth blessings upon us. The Good Lord hath ordained vengeance. He will give strength to our arms and courage to our hearts. He shall sustain us. Cast down the image of the god of the blancs, because he maketh the tears to flow from our eyes. Hearken unto Liberty that speaketh now in all your hearts (Heinl) ➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖➖ In the following days, the whole Northern Plain was in flames, as the revolutionaries conducted acts of violence towards those who had formerly enslaved them. Clouded in mystery, many accounts of the catalytic ceremony and its particular details have varied since it was first documented in Antoine Dalmas's "History of the Saint-Domingue Revolution" in 1814. The ceremony is considered the official beginning of the Haitian Revolution.
