Some images of French recognition of Haitian sovereignty during the reign of Charles X. One can see quite clearly the paternalism of the French artists in depicting this event, which also seems to be partially based on common imagery of slaves in abolitionist propaganda. This period began the 'debt crisis' of Haiti and a great example of foreign imperialism, although Boyer's government and that of his predecessor seemed to favor some sort of indemnity to France without heavy French military threats.
Just when did the British paid the indemnity due to australian aborigines, maori, and american indians ? When did Italy paid the indemnity due to the Gaul slaves ?
