Responding to the end of slavery (1793) in the #HaitianRevolution (1791), Congress passed a law on #ThisDayInHistory in 1803 to support Southern states that banned arrival of free Black people, and were seizing them from ships & selling them into slavery; about 20,000 were taken.

Why do U think Black ppl immigrating & importing Slaves from #WestIndies was banned. #ThomasJefferson feared Slaves learned about #HaitianRevolution & Haiti success inspiring US revolts & #SlaveHolders death.
Southerners passed laws restricting Black WIs.

During Black August we center the fight to free our political prisoners and remember our freedom fighters who recognized the same truths evident in the struggle of the Haitian people. That is: It takes us to free us! #BlackAugust #FreeAllPoliticalPrisoners #HaitianRevolution
Their victorious uprising overthrew French rule, ended slavery, and established Haiti—the world’s first free Black nation—shattering the economic framework of the transatlantic slave trade. Freedom proved more powerful than exploitation.
