Description
On April 30, 1798, L'Ouverture signed a treaty with the English general, Thomas Maitland, exchanging the withdrawal of British troops from western Saint-Domingue for an amnesty for the French counter-revolutionaries in those areas. Toussaint L'Ouverture (May 20, 1743 - April 7, 1803) was a Haitian general who transformed a slave insurgency into a movement, the Haitian Revolution. By 1800 Saint-Domingue, the most prosperous French slave colony of the time, had become the first free colonial society to have rejected race as the basis of social ranking.
