The Glory of the day won by the slave rebellion set the stage for all enslaved people, Liberty was just a battle away!  Death to the Polish Legion sent to destroy their freedom while in their own homeland the Slav were under the heel of their Russi master and Prussi masters. Calling for freedom them selves!

Na monsieur am still in the French Armée sad to say but the Allies countries were still the biggest slavers in the World. There are boat loads of Noir setting in Liverpool harbor now and that many bones at the bottom of that infamous slave haven called Liverpool! I stand for the French Révolution FÊLE! If you follow Napoléon you follow a fool, I most because I have no other hope but if you wish to fight my garcons in the Empire o Haïti await you. As for recruitment very few Noir would send fifty dollars on these games when they have Madden football to entertain them! |

Gents, If we talk about the oppression of peoples, nations of Europe or all over the world to let us speak the truth, the whole truth, it's a deep thing ... Poland has 1,000 years, officially from 966 AD to Mieszko I was baptized, and you can say that it is Poland, Poles, Kingdom, Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth, the Republic of Poland. These ethnic areas, where nations live for centuries and are the limits of the States that were changed as a result of pacts, coalitions, warfare. For instance the Molotov-Ribbentrop Pact 1939, or Yalta 1945 or Tehran 1943. This applies to all countries, and for Prussia ... Kulturkampf Chancellor Otto von Bismarck to the Poles. In Haiti, we did not go willingly. Probably order, an order,compulsion! For our freedom and yours!

I know a lot of bad things happened in the past and there is a lot of bad things going on in the world today. There are plenty of other forums to get serious on and I use to post on. I got tired of all if it and seldom visit those kind of forums anymore. So lets just have fun in NWC land and fight our battles with 0's and 1's because when they die here only our pride gets hurt! Battle On... |

Joseph de Bologne, the Chevalier de Saint-Georges, was one of the most remarkable figures of the 18th century. Incredibly, this son of a slave rose to the top of French society through his mastery of fencing and his genius for classical music! His dual career is illustrated in the above portrait. He is dressed for a concert but holds a sword in place of a conductor's baton. The painting was done in London in 1787 by the American artist Mather Brown. Joseph Bologne was born in Guadeloupe to Nanon, a Wolof former slave, and a white French plantation owner, Georges Bologne de Saint-George. Although his father called himself de Saint-George, after one of his properties, he was not born into the nobility. Some biographers have mistaken him for Pierre Tavernier-Boulogne, Controller-General of Finances, whose nobility dated back to the 15th century. The confusion surrounding the nobility of Saint-George's father originated with Roger de Beauvoir’s novel of 1840 ("Le Chevalier de Saint-George"). However, Georges Bologne was not ennobled until 1757, when he acquired the title of Gentilhomme ordinaire de la chambre du roi, and noble rank was hereditary only for children born in wedlock. In 1747 George Bologne was falsely accused of murder and fled to France with Nanon and her child to prevent their being sold. After two years he was granted a royal pardon and the family returned to Guadeloupe. In 1753, George took Joseph, who was then eight, to France permanently where he was enrolled in a private academy. At the age of 13 Saint-George became a pupil of La Boëssière, a master of arms, and excelled in all physical exercises, especially fencing. When still a student, Saint-George beat Alexandre Picard, a fencing-master of Rouen, who had mocked him as ‘La Boëssière’s upstart mulatto’, and was rewarded by his father with a horse and buggy. He also studied literature and horseback riding, and became an exceptional violinist. On 5 April 1762, King Louis XV decreed that people of color (blacks (nègres) and mulattos) must register with the clerk of the Admiralty within two months. Saint-George's mother, Nanon, registered herself as age 34 at that time. On 10 May 1762, La Bossière registered Saint-George as "Joseph de Boulogne". On graduating at the age of 19, he was made a Gendarme de la Garde du Roi (member of the royal guard). After the end of the Seven Years' War, George Bologne returned to his Guadeloupe plantations, leaving his son in France with a handsome annuity. The young chevalier became the darling of fashionable society; contemporary accounts speak of his romantic conquests. In 1766 the Italian fencer Giuseppe Faldoni came to Paris to challenge Saint-George. Faldoni won, but proclaimed Saint-George the finest swordsman in Europe.Like many others associated with the aristocracy and the royal court at Versailles, Saint-George served in the army of the Revolution against France's foreign enemies, although he is not known to have joined the domestic revolutionary struggle prior to the imprisonment of Louis XVI and Marie Antoinette. Nonetheless, Saint-George would pay dearly for consenting to become the first black colonel of the French army, in its fight for the Revolution. He took command of a regiment of a thousand free colored volunteers, largely consisting of former slaves from the region of his birth. With these troops, he arrested General Miaczinski at Lille, thwarting the betrayal of General Dumouriez. Repeatedly denounced, however, because of his aristocratic parentage and past association with the royal court, Saint-George was dismissed from the army on September 25, 1793, accused of using public funds for personal gain. He was acquitted after spending 18 months in jail. After the revolution, Saint-George continued to lead orchestras but, abandoned by his former patrons, his circumstances became straitened and his lifestyle bore little resemblance to that he enjoyed under the monarchy. Joseph de Boulogne, Chevalier de Saint-George died in 1799 at the age of 54. In the ensuing 200 years, he fell largely into obscurity. |
