Storyboard Szöveg

  • 
  • Though born into slavery in Saint Domingue, Toussaint learned of Africa from his father, who had been born a free man there. He learned that he was more than a slave, that he was a human being deserving of dignity.
  • Toussaint joined the rebellion early on as a general but did not become the leader of the slave rebellion until 1798.
  • He would come to be known as Toussaint L'Ouverture and brilliantly led his rag-tag slave army.
  • Toussaint agreed to help the French army eject the British and Spanish. Toussaint proved to be a brilliant general, winning 7 battles in 7 days. He became a de facto governor of the colony.
  • By 1803 Napoleon was ready to get Haiti off his back: he and Toussaint agreed to terms of peace. Napoleon agreed to recognize Haitian independence and Toussaint agreed to retire from public life.
  • A few months later, the French invited Toussaint to come to a negotiating meeting with full safe conduct. When he arrived, the French betrayed the safe conduct and arrested him, putting him on a ship headed for France.
