++++ The Christian Year: A Service Book, Consisting Of Passages Of
Scripture John Relly Beard Simpkin, Marshall, 1861
Toussaint L'Ouverture (1743-1803) won international renown in the
Haitian fight for independence. He led thousands of former slaves
into battle against French, Spanish, and English forces, routing
the Europeans and seizing control of the entire island of
Hispaniola. L'Ouverture became governor and commander-in-chief of
Haiti before officially acknowledging French rule in 1801, when he
submitted a newly written constitution to Napoleon Bonaparte
(1769-1821) and the French legislature for ratification. In
response, Bonaparte sent an army to depose L'Ouverture, who was
taken prisoner in June of 1802 and shipped to France, where he died
of pneumonia in April 1803. The Life of Toussaint L'Ouverture
(1853) was first published in London on the fiftieth anniversary of
L'Ouverture's death and remained the authoritative English-language
history of L'Ouverture's life until the late twentieth century.
Throughout the text, John Relly Beard compares L'Ouverture to
famously successful white generals, argues for his supremacy, and
states that his ultimate failure to liberate Haiti and untimely
death are the products of unfortunate circumstances--not an
indictment of his character or leadership abilities.
