Dominicain Republic
Toussaint L'Ouverture
Haiti
St. Domingue
Toussaint L'Ouverture was a key leader of the Haitian Revolution, which successfully fought against French colonial rule in Saint-Domingue (now Haiti). He achieved independence for the former colony by leading enslaved Africans in a rebellion that ultimately abolished slavery and established Haiti as the first independent black-led republic in 1804. L'Ouverture's leadership and military strategies were pivotal in securing this historic victory and inspiring future movements for freedom and equality.
It was called St. Domingue.
The slaves in Saint Domingue were treated terribly, beaten & raped, tortured & murdered. These conditions led to revolt.
Saint-Domingue, a French colony, became Haiti after the successful slave uprising and revolution led by Toussaint Louverture and Jean-Jacques Dessalines in the early 19th century.
They inspired Africans to rebel against Saint-Domingue's unfair government.
The Saint-Domingue expedition was a French military expedition sent by Napoleon Bonaparte, then First Consul, under his brother-in-law Charles Victor Emmanuel Leclerc in an attempt to regain French control of the island of Saint-Domingue and curtail the measures of independence taken by the former slave Toussaint Louverture.
