Read about Haitian revolution. It’s fucking badass. Slaves slaughtered slave owners and ejected French colonists off the island as it became the first nation to abolish slavery. Napolean sent an expedition later to recapture it since it was such a cash cow and would help finance his expeditions through Europe but failed. Ultimately the Western world ganged up on Haiti and forced it to pay reparations to France for seizing its own freedom.
The American and French revolution are unique in their own regard. America was settlers versus colonial metropole. France was the working class versus the bourgeoisie. But slaves versus slave owners? There’s something just chef’s kiss about that one.
Small correction, the French revolution was mostly the bourgeoisie versus the clergy & nobility
