François Dominique Toussaint L'Ouverture
1743‐1803
A leader of the Haitian independence movement. Known as a "Black Jacobin." Born a slave on the Breda plantation in Saint-Domingue, a French colony on the island of Hispaniola, he worked as a coachman, veterinarian, and steward, and had a knowledge of Latin, French, and mathematics. He dreamed of emancipating the slaves and achieving independence. When France entered the war with Spain in 1793, he joined the Spanish army that controlled the eastern part of the island (Santo Domingo), where he demonstrated his excellent military talent. However, in 1794, he broke with the Spanish army, surrendered to the French army, emancipated the slaves, and attempted to begin building peace on the island.
