Jean-Jacques Dessalines
Jean-Jacques Dessalines, (born c. 1758, West
Africa—died October 17, 1806, Pont Rouge, near
Port-au-Prince, Haiti), emperor of Haiti who
proclaimed his country’s independence in 1804.
Dessalines was brought to the French West
Indian colony of Saint-Domingue (Haiti) as a
slave. He worked as a field hand for a black
master until 1791, when he joined the slave
rebellion that broke out in the colony amid the
turmoil caused by the French Revolution.
Toussaint L’Ouverture
Born into slavery on May 20, 1743 in the
French colony of Saint Dominque, L’Ouverture
was the eldest son of Gaou Guinon, an African
prince who was captured by slavers.
His godfather, the priest Simon Baptiste, for
example, taught him to read and write.
In 1802 Napoleon dispatched his brother-inlaw, Charles Leclerc, to capture L’Ouverture
and return the island to slavery under French
control. Captured and imprisoned at Fort de
Joux in France, L’Ouverture died of pneumonia
on April 7, 1803.
