Description
Charles Victoire Emmanuel Leclerc (March 17, 1772 - November 2, 1802) was a French Army general. In 1801, he was sent to Saint-Domingue (Haiti), where he captured and deported Toussaint L'Ouverture. Leclerc died of yellow fever during the failed expedition. 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.
