- Toussaint agreed to the deal, and soon after, he was invited to France for a negotiation meeting. However, Napoleon ordered his men to capture Toussaint and imprison him in the mountains to die of cold and starvation.
- Toussaint died in prison, but his capture inspired the Haitians to keep fighting until they were finally granted their independence.
