🇭🇹🩸 #rp @el_tigrenegro 278 years ago, Toussaint L'Ouverture (20 May 1743 – 7 April 1803) was born on the plantation of Bréda at Haut de Cap in Haiti. His military and political acumen led to the most successful African slave revolt in history. He first fought for the Spanish against the French; then for France against Spain and Britain; and finally, for Saint Domingue's colonial sovereignty against Napoleonic France. He then helped transform the insurgency into a revolutionary movement, which by 1800 had turned Saint Domingue, the most prosperous slave colony of the time, into the first free colonial society to have explicitly rejected race as the basis of social ranking. Though Toussaint did not sever ties with France, his actions in 1800 created a de facto autonomous colony,writing the colony's constitution that proclaimed him governor for life. His June 1802 betrayal and exile happened before the final and most violent stage of the Revolution. However, his achievements set the grounds for the Black army's absolute victory and for Jean-Jacques Dessalines to declare the sovereign state of Haiti on January 1,1804. Toussaint's prominent role in the Haitian success over colonialism and slavery had earned him the admiration of friends and detractors alike. Toussaint Louverture began his military career as a leader of the 1791 slave rebellion in the French colony of Saint-Domingue; he was by then a free black man and a Jacobin. Initially allied with the Spaniards of neighboring Santo Domingo, Toussaint switched allegiance to the French when he made them abolish slavery in order for the revolt to end. He gradually established control over the whole island and used political and military tactics to gain dominance over his rivals. Throughout his years in power, he worked to improve the economy and security of Saint-Domingue. He restored the plantation system using paid labour, negotiated trade treaties with Britain and the U.S., and maintained a large and well-disciplined army. #HaitianHeritageMonth 🇭🇹🇭🇹 ▃▃▃▃▃▃ #negritude #PanAfricanism #Haiti #Ayiti #kiyesouye #kimounouye #kotewsoti #ayisyenmwenye #natifnatal #ToussaintLouverture ▃▃▃▃▃▃ (at AYITI) https://www.instagram.com/p/CPGpvBWrhow/?utm_medium=tumblr

🇭🇹✊🏽🏴 @el_tigrenegro . Born Christophe Henri on October 6, 1767 in Grenada, the son of a Bambara enslaved mother and Christophe, a free African man, he was brought as a slave to Saint-Domingue. In 1779 he served with the French forces as a drummer boy in Les Chasseurs-Volontaires de Saint-Domingue. They fought at the Siege of Savannah, a battle during the American Revolutionary War. . ✴✴ Beginning with the Slave Uprising of 1791, he rose to power in the ranks of the Haitian revolutionary military. The revolution succeeded in gaining independence from France in 1804. In 1805 he took part under Jean-Jacques Dessalines in the capturing of Santo Domingo (now Dominican Republic), against French forces who acquired the colony from Spain in the Treaty of Basel. . ✴✴ After Dessalines was assassinated, Christophe retreated to the Plaine-du-Nord and created a separate government. On February 17, 1807, he was elected President of the State of Haiti, as he named that area. Alexandre Pétion was elected president in the South. On 26 March 1811, Christophe created a kingdom in the North and was later proclaimed Henry I, King of Haïti. He also created a nobility and named his legitimate son Jacques-Victor Henry as prince and heir. . ✴✴ He is known for constructing Citadel Henry, now known as Citadelle Laferrière, the Sans-Souci Palace, and numerous other palaces. Under his policies of corvée, government regulated farming, the Kingdom earned revenues from agricultural production, primarily sugar; but the people resented the system. He reached agreement with Great Britain to respect its Caribbean colonies in exchange for their warnings to his government of any French navy activity threatening Haiti. Unpopular, ill and fearing a coup, he committed suicide on October 8, 1820. His son and heir was assassinated 10 days later. The general Jean-Pierre Boyer came to power and reunited the two parts of Haiti. ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ #kiyesouye #kimounouye #kotewsoti #ayisyenmwenye #negritude #PanAfricanism #Haiti #Ayiti #whitesupremacy #racism #sexism #feminism #BlackWomenMatter #BlackMenMatter #BlackLivesMatter #blackunity ▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃▃ (at Haiti) https://www.instagram.com/p/B3S7TvjhNTe/?igshid=1bsd3c2thanzk
