- Toussiant L'Ouverture led Saint Dominique to independence from France...but how? As an enslaved child he learned how to read and write, his love for reading helped propel him into ideas of enlightenment thinkers. He began to learn about the past of slaves around him and a want for freedom and equality ignited inside of him.
- YEARS LATER:
- The slaves of Saint Dominique gained enough confidence to revolt against their masters; they burned down the crops that helped support the entire world. They believed that if the French could retaliate so could they. could This proved to the French that they wanted freedom and they wanted to fight for it.
- Toussiant became a leader of the revolt becoming known as Toussiant L'Ouverture, (one who finds the opening) because he found a gap between the French soldiers leading the slaves to victory.
- Jacobins was one of the leaders of the French Revolution. Revolutionaries and Jacobins decided to end slavery.
- Napoleon wanted to regain control over his colonies and reinstate slavery so he attacked Saint Dominique. Napoleon underestimated the colony and Toussiant's abilities. France surrendered and agreed on peace.
- We are now free! Slavery will always be abolished!
- Napoleon tricks Toussiant, kidnaps him, and takes him back to France where he stays in a jail cell until he dies. Though he leaves what is now Haiti,, freedom for all stays.
