Toussaint Louverture
1743 CE–1803 CE · Cap-Haitien
Toussaint Louverture (c. 1743–1803) was the foremost leader of the Haitian Revolution in the French colony of Saint-Domingue. Born into slavery, he rose to become a military and political commander, consolidating control over the colony and issuing a constitution in 1801 that named him governor-general for life. In 1802 he was captured by French forces sent to reassert control and was deported to France. He died in prison in 1803, before the colony achieved full independence as Haiti in 1804.
