In episode 58 of Half True History, Dan Parrella tells Pedro Lima and Chris Crespo about the world’s first successful slave revolution, and how it started as a colonial class war and ended up a full on fight for independence. The French Revolution starts it and Napoleon Bonaparte ends it, and it all involves lots of sugar money, and somehow Bane from The Dark Knight Rises gets thrown in the mix, so listen this episode to find out how this all ties together.
