“Toussaint L’Ouverture established a self-governed French protectorate in Saint-Domingue, populated by emancipated former slaves. Fearing to lose the grip over its colony, L’Ouverture was eventually captured by Napoleon Bonaparte in 1802 and detained at Fort de Joux, where he died a year later.

Toussaint L’Ouverture brought irreversible waves of change in the French colony, resulting in the establishment of independent Haiti in 1804.”
