Louisiana was supposedly named after the French king Louis XVI, but prior to that under Spanish control, the area was called "Luciana", which took on a different meaning...not associated with the king of France.

Historians like to over emphasize the fact that the French enslaved many West Africans, but before they were slaves, they served in huge numbers as free military men protecting French interest. Before French pirates established Saint Domingue in Hispaniola, they already had a 50 year relationship with West Africans, and had established an island settlement in West Africa named "Saint Louis".

The goal of this channel is to bring to light the hidden past of Hispaniola and how it relates to American history as a whole. The intent is to form a new narrative that will include the dynamics of patriotism, race, identity, wealth, servitude and independence. The stories and topics covered on the HISPANIOLA HISTORY CHANNEL will be from the perspective of David Rodriguez, a first generation United States citizen with ancestry from the Dominican Republic.
