Toussaint was born in Saint Dominique. He learned of Africa by his father. He also was very well educated by getting his hands on any book he found
I'm well educated and I am not a slave
The sugar plantations of Saint Dominique could not be the same after the French revolution. Enlightenment thinkers like Jean-Jacques Rousseau thought of "rights of Man" french men, including blacks instead of ending slavery.
news of betrayal triggered mas slaves and Toussaint became a leader of a slave rebellion. he successfully fought the french and invaded Spanish and british.
