If you didn't know anything about Haiti that might be a safe bet but I'm sure more than one plantation owned by gens de color was open to seeing all people free.

Lol. There's a difference between joining the winning side so they don't hang you and financing the rebellion.

So you're saying none of the freed people lent monetary support to the revolution?

I'm saying you're an idiot trying to pretend plantation owners funded a slave rebellion out of the goodness of their hearts.

For some reason.

Having trouble following the conversation?

The correct comment (which you disagreed with) was "all resistance stories have rich people on the other side secretly financing them and providing access to things."

Which you disagreed with for some reason.
