American Uprising: The Untold Story of America's Largest Slave Revolt

By Daniel Rassmussen

Audiobook

Well back to the gym after a two week break nursing a sore shoulder. Felt good to be back and to kick off the whe "new year new me bullshit" (ha I love that). This for appearex on the list lasf January glad >'m finally getting  around to it. I'm going through the old lists now from 201r and filling it the gaps. So many books, so little time on this planet.

So I'm goi g along listening to  the Haiti revolt by Toussaint Louverture as a sort of leadin I guess to the American uprising. Anyway with my mind wandering (the internet has eaten my brain; Isn't that right Nicky Carr) I pick up this little tidbit.

So get this' with the uprising in San Domang (I know it's Santa Domingo but this is jow it's pronounced for some reason), Napolean sends Le'Clerc to subdue the island and after a brief success he fails. They bring in specially trained man eating dogs bred in cuba and turn them loose on the island. So the dogs(unbeknownst to the French) are color blind and eat soldiers as well. That is the funniest (stupidest) thing I've ever heard. Can you imagine that? "Polay vu there Jean Claude let's turn loose zee fucking dogs. We'll show zeese bastards. Oh shit zee fucking dogs are eating us. Shit how could have forseen this?" Shit round  up zee fucking dogs. Omg lmao!
