A REFERENCE RE RACE NAT TURNER JEFFERSON'S AMERICA

This is related to some of my recent posts, and to DK's topics re race, Nat Turner, etc.

So, when did the 'war between cops and blacks' begin?

Put another way, when was "the first great shock between the ideals of white supremacy and racial equality", T. Lothrop Stoddard, The French Revolution in San Domingo (Boston 1914, 1914) vii.?

One highly visible place was Bahia, 1798, but the biggie was, of course, Toussaint L' Ouverture's Haiti, the 1790s.

Some European Republicans at the time, (and Europe was crawling with them), favored his efforts, as being akin to their own, both in Europe and over there in North America, a view hardly then shared by their American Republican successful rebel counterparts here. 

So, to answer the question, about how long the war Collins refers to and acknowledges has been going on a long time, and to which Turner's Rebellion is related, I would say since 1795 or so.

 

After 1804, although they certainly weren't all equal, down there in Haiti, they were certainly almost all black.
