  • Yaayyy
  • The enlightenment has done this to us, but we can be free again.
  • We will fight back
  • Yes, we agree
  • So we agree, there will be nothing but peace

  • Your safety is guaranteed
  • The French have invited you to come to their meeting
  • There was joy among the blacks in Haiti, and Toussaint agreed to help the French army eject the British and Spanish. Toussaint proved to be a brilliant general, 
  • I thought we had an agreement ? What did I do?
  • Napoleon came back into power, ruling with dictatorial powers. He responded to the request of the plantation owners by reinstating slavery in the French colonies, once again running Haiti into war.

  • "What could the death of one wretched Negro mean to me?" 
  • Do you still honor the way you handled the Toussaint situation do you regret what you did?
  • A few months later, the French invited Toussaint to come to a negotiating meeting with full safe conduct. When he arrived, the French (at Napoleon's orders) betrayed the safe conduct and arrested him, putting him on a ship headed for France. 
  • Napoleon ordered that Toussaint be placed in a prison dungeon in the mountains. Toussaint died in prison, but others carried on the fight for freedom.
  • Six months later, Napoleon abandoned Haiti to independence and sold the French territory in North America to the United States. Years later, in exile at St. Helena, when asked about his dishonorable treatment of Toussaint, Napoleon replied, "What could the death of one wretched Negro mean to me?" However, it was Napoleon who would lose his rule and die in prison. Haiti remained free.
