Toussaint Louverture was one of the liberators of Haiti. After the
insurrection, he joined the insurgents, and, having acquired some knowledge of
surgery and medicine, acted as physician to the forces. In 1796 he was named
commander-in-chief of the armies of St Domingo, but, having raised and
disciplined a powerful army of blacks, he made himself master of the whole
country, renounced the authority of France, and announced himself “the
Buonaparte of St Domingo.”
He was taken prisoner by treachery on the part of France, and died in the
prison of Joux, near Besançon, 27th April 1803.
