On this day, 19 September 1793, during the Haitian Revolution, 600 British soldiers sent from Jamaica landed at Jérémie, Haiti. They were welcomed by the white French property owners, who had signed a secret accommodation with Britain. In exchange for their support, Saint Domingue would become a British colony. Slavery would be reinstated, people of colour would be stripped of citizenship, and the conditions of Britain’s economic policies would favor the colonists. However, fortunately their plan was unsuccessful. This is a detailed history of the revolution: https://libcom.org/library/black-jacobins-toussaint-louverture-san-domingo-revolution
