The commenter you are replying to was probably referring to the Messenians, which were Spartan helots for a long time, but not forever. I don't really like you

The commenter you are replying to was probably referring to the Messenians, which were Spartan helots for a long time, but not forever. I don't really like your "one successful slave revolt" statement, because it depends on the meaning of "successful" and "slave", so it seems interesting at first, but it is not really possible to think or argue about it without restating it in a clarified form first (even though there is some truth in the statement). I suppose you were thinking about the Haitian Revolution?
