Book excerpt: Columbus did not discover the Americas. However, what he and the conquistadors did accomplish make "Isis" look like Boy Scouts. Several people including Africans had traveled to the Americas long before Columbus. He initiated the genocide of millions of indigenous people and ushered in the Atlantic slave trade, introducing Africans providing free labor for hundreds of years. To justify this behavior lies had to be invented and perpetuated. Peaceful and resourceful Indigenous people were labeled cannibals and Africans as savages, with little positive effect on civilization. Contributions to civilization by many African Kingdoms and Empires over centuries had to be systematically ignored to ensure the maximum effect of the lies. The introduction of free African labor into Haiti created "The Pearl of the Antilles" supplying vast amounts of sugar coffee and indigo enriching the French coffers for one hundred years. This prosperity could have continued even after the French abolished slavery in 1794. Toussaint Louverture was one of the greatest men that ever lived. What he achieved is unimaginable leading an army consisting mainly of former slaves defeating French, British, and Spanish forces. Defending his country for over a dozen years from external and internal forces keeping his people free. The Haitian revolution was the catalyst that facilitated The Louisiana Purchase enabling the United States to instantly double in size. Inside the newly acquired territory, two different sets of people were slaughtered because of their economic success, the people who created The Black Wall Street and the Osage Indian Nation.
