| Front Description | François-Dominique Toussaint Louverture (May 20, 1743 – April 7, 1803) was the leader of the Haitian Revolution. Toussaint was born in Saint-Domingue, the French colony that would become Haiti. Renowned for his military genius and political acumen, he led the first successful attempt by a slave population in the Americas and the world to win independence from European colonialism. He defeated the armies of three imperial powers: Spain, France, and Great Britain. The success of the Haitian Revolution had enduring effects on shaking the institution of slavery throughout the New World. The groundwork laid by Toussaint prepared Haiti to become the second independent republic in the Americas. |
