    And don't forget about my boy Kosciuszko!
     
    Before Kościuszko left for France, he collected his back pay, wrote a will, and entrusted it to Jefferson as executor.[98][100] Kościuszko and Jefferson had become firm friends by 1797 and thereafter corresponded for twenty years in a spirit of mutual admiration. Jefferson wrote that "He is as pure a son of liberty as I have ever known."[104] In the will, Kościuszko left his American estate to be sold to buy the freedom of black slaves, including Jefferson's own, and to educate them for independent life and work.[105]
     
    Several years after Kościuszko's death, Jefferson, aged 77, pleaded an inability to act as executor due to age[106] and the numerous legal complexities of the bequest. It was tied up in the courts until 1856.[107] Jefferson recommended his friend John Hartwell Cocke, who also opposed slavery, as executor, but Cocke likewise declined to execute the bequest.[106]
     
    The case of Kościuszko's American estate reached the U.S. Supreme Court three times.[note 5] Kościuszko had made four wills, three of which postdated the American one.[109]
     
    None of the money that Kościuszko had earmarked for the manumission and education of African Americans in the United States was ever used for that purpose.[110] Though the American will was never carried out as defined, its legacy was used to found an educational institute at Newark, New Jersey, in 1826, for African Americans in the United States. It was named for Kościuszko.

    We went against Napoleon's wishes and allied with the rebelling Haitians. Not sure what this has to do with Belgium lol
     
    It's a pretty sweet history.
     
    Dating back to the Haitian Revolution, the Polish influence started in the town of Cazale. In 1802, Napoleon added a Polish legion of around 5,200 to the forces sent to Saint-Domingue to fight off the slave rebellion. However, the Poles were told that there was a revolt of prisoners in Saint-Domingue. Upon arrival the Polish platoon soon discovered that what was actually taking place in the colony was a rebellion of slaves fighting off their French masters for their freedom.
     
    During this time, there was a familiar situation going on back in their homeland as these Polish soldiers were fighting for their liberty from the occupying forces of Russia, Prussia and Austria that began in 1772. As hopeful as the Haitians, many Poles were seeking union amongst themselves to win back their freedom and independence by organizing an uprising.
     
    As a result, many Polish soldiers admired their opponents, to eventually turn on the French army and join the Haitian slaves. Polish soldiers participated in the Haitian revolution of 1804, contributing to the establishment of the world's first free black republic and the first independent Caribbean state. For their loyalty and support in overthrowing the French, the Poles acquired Haitian citizenship after Haiti gained its independence.

    I am not sure if it supports random .mp4 embeds but the site certainly can handle youtube and animated gifs just fine.

    Yeah, its crazy how much big avatars make a differece.
     
    Which is HILARIOUS because it was one of the quality of life things asked for the most when hoping SRK was saved.
