Toussaint Louverture was one of the leaders of the Haitian revolution. In 1791, he led the slave rebellion in the French colony of Saint Domingue. In 1801 he promulgated an autonomist constitution for the colony, with himself as governor for life. 

 

In 1802 he was forced to resign by forces sent by Napoleon Bonaparte to restore French authority in the colony. He was deported to the Fort de Joux in France where he died in 1803. The Haitian Revolution continued under Jean-Jacques Dessalines who declared Haiti’s independence in 1804.
