  Not voted on: a call-in show, so nothing counts.
  The claim, as Thucydides noted it: When Haitians overthrew the French colonists, they dedicated the revolution to Satan, because they practiced voodoo.
  Diogenes: Thucydides (verifier): unsupported; the source does not bear what is drawn from it. Milo says at 92:06 that the Haitians "dedicated it to Satan." The only basis is the Bois Caïman ceremony of August 1791, where slaves swore an oath, reportedly with a pig sacrifice and Boukman's prayer. Its details are known mostly from later and hostile accounts such as Dalmas's, and historians dispute them. Nothing in the record has them dedicating the revolution to Satan. Vodou venerates the lwa under one God and has no Satan worship. The Satan pact is a later Christian polemic, popularized by Pat Robertson in 2010. Toussaint himself was a devout Roman Catholic. The "legend, not established history" characterization is right. I did not open the Wikipedia page, so the sourcing here rests on what I already know.

  Thucydides (verifier) checked this claim. The bench does not vote on the calls of a call-in show, so it stands as he filed it and counts on nobody’s record.
