Even if Gibbon is discredited his book is a good read and a good insight in 18th century historiography and it inspired a real cool book I recently read, Decline and Fall of the Ottoman Empire

stranger danger posted:robespierre ended slavery in the french empire in 1794 and IIRC still remains something of a hero in haiti to this day. then slavery came back when napoleon took over aka it's a shame max wasn't more pragmatic in holding onto power. He repeatedly highlights this changing relationship between the metropole and her Haitian subjects and how that changed over the course of the French and Haitian revolutions. Mike highlights this in his chapter after France if you rage-quit right there. Furthermore I would take issue with describing emancipation as descending down from the white ruler. C. L. R. James says it best in The Black Jacobins that what was truely revolutionary in Haiti was that it was Self-Emancipation.

us brits make a big deal out of ending slavery when we did but it was only after industrialisation meant slavery was now pointless and actually the government just bought all the slaves off the slaveowners then made them do 4 years of unpaid work until they could be properly free and didn't compensate them anything because they were property. the most british solution to slavery imaginable imo ok it coulda been more british if we'd also hosed all the kids

I want to tell the story of the ancient JEB! Quintus Servilius Caepio the Elder and his cucked son Quintus Servilius Caepio the Younger In the Battle of Arausio in 105 BC, Caepio led one of the two forces against the Germanic tribes (the Teutones, the Cimbri, and Tigurini/Marcomanni/Cherusci) along with the consul Gnaeus Mallius Maximus. Caepio was from old money elite. At the Battle of Arausio, Caepio refused to co-operate with his superior officer, the consul Gnaeus Mallius Maximus, who was a novus homo "new man", not a member of the Roman elite. Caepio refused even to camp with Maximus and his troops; when it appeared that Maximus was going to reach a treaty and take the glory for the resolution, Caepio ordered his men to engage the Germans, and the battle that ensued saw the complete destruction of the Roman army (between 80,000 to 120,000 men). Plutarch, in his “Life of Marius”, mentions that the soil of the fields the battle had been fought upon were made so fertile by human remains that they were able to produce “magna copia” (a great quantity) of yield for many years. Upon his return to Rome, Caepio was tried for "the loss of his army" by a tribune of the plebs, Gaius Norbanus. Despite being defended by the orator and consul Lucius Licinius Crassus, Caepio was convicted and was given the harshest sentence allowable: he was stripped of his citizenship, forbidden fire and water within eight hundred miles of Rome, nominally fined 15,000 talents (about 825,000 lb) of gold, and forbidden to see or speak to his friends or family until he had left for exile. His ineptitude led to the Marian Reforms. His cucked son on the other hand was probably responsible for the Social War (he opposed giving citizenship to allied Italian cities) and then murdered by those same allies during the war. quote:Caepio served as quaestor in 103 BC. During that year, his father, Q. Servilius Caepio the Elder, was tried before the people by the tribune Gaius Norbanus for his catastrophic loss at the Battle of Arausio. The younger Caepio tried to use violence to oppose Norbanus and his ally, Lucius Appuleius Saturninus, but his father was nonetheless exiled. Caepio's violent tactics were used as a pretext many years later in 95 BC when he was tried by an unknown prosecutor. However, thanks to the defense of the consul Lucius Licinius Crassus, Caepio was acquitted.

The best part about Rome was that the oligarchs insisted on ruling directly as opposed through proxies and they invariably got themselves killed.
