Expand DescriptionĬharles Forsdick and Christian Høgsbjerg, editors  He establishes the Haitian Revolution as a foundational moment in the history of democracy and human rights. Laurent Dubois weaves the stories of slaves, free people of African descent, wealthy whites, and French administrators into an unforgettable tale of insurrection, war, heroism, and victory. The independence of Haiti reshaped the Atlantic world by leading to the French sale of Louisiana to the United States and the expansion of the Cuban sugar economy. After many battles, a decisive victory over the French secured the birth of Haiti and the permanent abolition of slavery from the land. Ultimately Napoleon, fearing the enormous political power of Toussaint, sent a massive mission to crush him and subjugate the ex-slaves. A charismatic ex-slave named Toussaint Louverture came to France’s aid, raising armies of others like himself and defeating the invaders. This victory was a stunning challenge to the order of master/slave relations throughout the Americas, including the southern United States, reinforcing the most fervent hopes of slaves and the worst fears of masters.īut, peace eluded Saint-Domingue as British and Spanish forces attacked the colony. Within a few years, the slave insurgents forced the French administrators of the colony to emancipate them, a decision ratified by revolutionary Paris in 1794. The first and only successful slave revolution in the Americas began in 1791 when thousands of brutally exploited slaves rose up against their masters on Saint-Domingue, the most profitable colony in the eighteenth-century Atlantic world.

Hurts has topped 750 rushing yards in each of the last two seasons, averaging 51.5 rushing yards per game over that span. He ran for 13 touchdowns last year and has 23 TD runs over the last two seasons. But it's the running game where Hurts really makes his bones. Hurts was a highly efficient passer in his second full season as a starter, completing 66.5% of his throws at 8.0 yards per attempt, with a miniscule 1.3% INT rate.  Hurts gave us a taste of his fantasy potential in 2021 and then cooked a seven-course meal in 2022, improving his passing numbers across the board, providing enormous rushing value and leading all quarterbacks with 25.6 fantasy points per game. Allen is likely to be the first QB off the board in most 2023 fantasy drafts. He's run for 700+ yards in each of the last two years and has had at least six TD runs in each of his five NFL seasons. He's thrown for more than 4,000 yards in three straight seasons and has finished with 35 to 37 TD passes every year during that span. Allen remains capable of putting fantasy teams on his shoulders in any given week with multi-TD spike games. Josh Allen finished QB2 in fantasy scoring behind Patrick Mahomes last season after finishing QB1 in 20.
