When the revolution broke in Haiti in 1791 Toussaint was the driver of his master, Bayon Libertat. Toussaint did not directly participate in the north uprising of 1791 although he was among the organizers of that revolt. In November 1791 nonetheless, he joined the troops of François Biassou, an important maroon leader of the north uprising, as the healer of the army. With his chief, he worked for the Spaniards in Spring 1793 in Santo Domingo to dismiss the French from the island. Under the guidance of the Spaniards Toussaint learned how to organize his troops and lead them to victory after victory.

In 1794, however, he decided to leave the Spanish side and fight for the French. In fifteen days, in 1794, he successfully fought the troops of Biassou and Jean François (Spanish) and reconquered for France all the lost lands of the North and the Centre of St Domingue. Everywhere, he raised the French flag proclaiming freedom for all the blacks. From 1794 to 1795, Toussaint relentlessly fought both the Spaniards and the Spanish in favor of the French. At the same time, he actively worked at limiting French authority in St Domingue for the liberation of the blacks. By 1801 he had proclaimed the island autonomous from France, drawing its own constitutions which nominated Toussaint Governor general of the island.

In 1802 Napoleon sent an expedition to fight Toussaint and reestablish slavery in the colony. After a bloody war, Toussaint decided to sign a cease-fire with the French troops while preserving his freedom and that of the blacks. Considerably weakened, Leclerc, the cousin of Napoleon Bonaparte who conducted the expeditionary army in Haiti, accepted the cease-fire, which was signed between the two generals on May 6th 1802. This cease-fire was not to last long however, as the French traitorously arrested Toussaint and his family on June 7th 1802.

With his family, Toussaint was deported to France on a ship ironically called "Le Heros", (The Heros). In setting foot in the "Heros" Toussaint pronounced these famous and prophetic words: "En me renversant, On n'a abattu a Saint Domingue que le tronc de l'arbre de la liberte des noirs; il poussera par les racines parce qu'elles sont profondes et nombreuses" (In arresting me, you've only pulled down the trunk of the tree of freedom; it will outgrow from its roots for they are deep and numerous). Indeed, Before Toussaint's death in France on April 7th 1803 the colony had entered in a final rebellion against the French which will result in the Independence of Haiti on January 1st 1804 and the abolition of slavery in the new nation.

The importance of Toussaint in the struggles against slavery lies in him being the leader and military strategist paving the way to independence for the first Black republic in the world. Under his leadership, Afrikan and Haitian slaves and ex-slaves fought against and defeated Napoleon Bonaparte's army.

You know? ;-D

DO YOU HAVE A RECORD PLAYER?!

good thing you google proofed that, you don't want the g00d l0rd coming to this thread and striking us all down!

what can you tell me about the 'hood near the knitting factory (keeping in mind my near total unfamiliarity w/ LA)? In anticipation of the v00redoms show, I'd like advice re: places to eat, things to do, the proximity of Amoeba.

it's not a proper zing because i wasn't googleproofing it
i'm a hax0r, dude

DeanG might be better help here but I was surprised when I went to the KF in Novemember, it's in the middle of tourist Hollywood!!! Like right next to all the famous spots: Grauman's Chinese Theater, the Avenue of the Stars, The El Capitan, the Roosevelt! It's not far from Amoeba (about a mile west and a block north), there's ample parking at both places. Food wise, I'm kinda blanking here on nearby LA institutions... Pink's down on Melrose? Phillipe's by Olvero St./Union Station? uh... Dean?

I'm having a hard time getting my head around this concept.

Pink's and Phillipe's are good suggestions if you've got a car and if you're looking for a good, quick meal. I can't think of any actual sit-down restaurants that I've frequented around there. It's a bit of a poor spot unless you're from the Midwest, in which case it is your Hollywood Disneyland.

The Grill at the horrific Hollywood / Highlands complex is GREAT but a bit pricey. Might not go well with BORE.

What he means is, it won't be any trouble for you to pay to park at these places.

Across the street is the legendary CLUB BANG, favorite of...CARLOS D INTERPOL HERPES.

well that takes care of the "something to do" part. Maybe I can come home with something to start a blog about.

if i'm back from japan by then i will be for sure to "meat" up.
