      Djenny- January 3, 2009 on our way back to NYC from driving to Florida. Oddly enough, I edited them and uploaded them to my server the day before the quake.

    i didn’t know about that part of the american revolution .thanks a lot for the info
    the only sad thing about this story,is that the racist napoleon bonaparte would
    make sure that black would remained slaves even after the french revolution.but
    at the end the battle of vertieres would bring freedom to haitians.

    here’s a very small video i did about these brave soldiers who didn’t have to fight
    for american but still they did it even if slavery was to stay in the states until 1865…

    Does this banknote depict The Battle of Savannah (in grey) next to Henry Christophe?
