From 1791 to 1804, the only successful slave rebellion in human history occurred.

The revolution was an insurrection of enslaved Africans against French colonial rule

in the Caribbean colony of San Domang. The success of the revolution led to the establishment

of a free and independent state known as Haiti. Yet, despite achieving their

freedom, the aftermath of the Haitian Revolution has led to long-term problems that have

plagued the country to this day. Learn more about the Haitian Revolution and why it was successful

on this episode of Everything Everywhere Daily.

The American Scandal podcast brings to life some of the biggest controversies in U.S. history

and takes you deep into the heart of America's dark side, and will leave you wondering,

how did this happen, and what can we learn? The latest season, Ruby Ridge Standoff,

explores an event that sowed the seeds for the rise of modern radicalism.

In 1992, in a remote corner of Idaho, federal law enforcement agents surrounded a small cabin.

Their target, Randy Weaver, a survivalist living off the grid to wade out the apocalypse.

He was wanted on a simple weapons charge, but the situation escalated into a tragedy and deadly standoff.

Ruby Ridge has since become a rallying crime for those opposed to government overreach

and has fueled decades of distrust and violent anti-government sentiment.
