The early leader of Latin America was Toussaint, who established the world's first independent black state.
Toussaint was a revolutionary, and although he was born into a black slave family and used as cattle and horses, he never gave up his desire for freedom and beauty. He has been working for freedom, hoping that more people can be redeemed.
In 1790, 1,000 "slaves" whose fates were intertwined joined the rebel forces, and three years later, Britain and Spain allied against France.
Haiti was tragic, invaded one after another. Toussaint first joined forces with Spain to fight France and proposed to Spain the abolition of slavery.
The mighty Spain despised Toussaint and turned a deaf ear to his advice.
Unexpectedly, God opened a window for Haiti — France abolished Haitian slave owners.
Feeling sorry for France, Toussaint abandoned Spain and united with France. So far, the foreign wars have been continuous, and they have been conquered by Toussaint one by one, and later he has simply and neatly solved the problem of civil unrest.
Toussaint achieved haiti reunification and served as haiti's president.
In 1802, the second year of the regime, Toussaint and the French broke up again, because Napoleon invaded Haiti, and Toussaint led the people to fight against Napoleon. How can Haiti be France's rival? So they had to be forced to negotiate peace.
Toussaint was secretly detained by the French, and by this time It was difficult for Him to escape, so he was placed under house arrest in France until the end of his life.
In 1803, Toussaint died in France with a deep desire for independence and freedom. His death made people more aware of the cruelty of capitalism.
Toussaint was born into a slave family, and in our society, almost no one can understand the concept of class, and the class of society has been blurred by money, as if the money is more than the upper class. But in the West at that time, no matter how much money or how little money, the class followed like a poisonous snake. As a slave, as a black slave, forever despised and despised.
Some people say that Toussaint's early years are rarely recorded, in fact, no one will remember those, his origins are too humble. Later he married the daughter of the godfather, which had an important influence on his life.
The status of the godfather not only raised his status, but for Toussaint, it was an independent enlightenment. The Godfather had taught Toussaint, and he studied French assiduously and read the works of famous French masters, including Montesquieu. In 1777, Toussaint was freed from slavery.
Toussaint and his wife had sixteen children, but for poverty or some reason, only five survived. He has three sons who are well known.
After marrying his wife, Toussaint rented a coffee plantation, which became their main source of income, and later he expanded his size and hired a group of slaves.
In 1791, Toussaint revolted. The plantation provided him with an economic resource, which was fundamental to his independence movement. The outbreak of the French Revolution and the revolt of the French colony of Aufa became the foreshadowing of the Negro's struggle for independence and freedom.
A man named Bookman held a religious ceremony, like lighting a core, and in an instant the tongue of fire flew into the air, and the black slave revolt broke out.
At this time, Toussaint was already standing in the leadership, the uprising that broke out at the bottom, and he did not participate, but left the bloody place to negotiate with the white French people, demanding that they give orders to treat blacks equally. White French, of course, refused.
In 1792, Toussaint and Spain allied themselves against France. The French army was defeated under The Planning of Toussaint and soon collapsed. The French were amazed to see Toussaint's excellent command skills, as well as the blacks' remarkable war prowess. So when Spain refused to abolish slavery and did not fulfill its previous agreement, France helped Toussaint abolish slavery.
Because of this, Toussaint decided to unite with France and attack Spain.
In 1801, Toussaint promulgated the "independence" constitution, and Toussaint's desire for independence and the implementation of the Declaration of Independence attracted the killing of the capitalists.
Napoleon was astonished and said how Toussaint could be so "bold." He ordered his men to attack Haiti. That is, within a few months of the promulgation of the constitution, Napoleon's iron horse set foot on this troubled land.
Napoleon did not expect that the people of Haiti would not be killed, thirty thousand French soldiers, just landed, a fire greeted them, and the flag of their aggression was burned. Thirty thousand French troops attacked for several years, but did not subdue Haiti, Napoleon had to adopt a "poisonous plan" under his command, shooting people first on horses, and first arresting Toussaint.
Toussaint naively went to the "appointment", thinking that he could win "independence" for Haiti, but he was locked up and put under house arrest until he died in a cold foreign land.
Toussaint's death caused a strong reaction from the Haitian people, who wept bitterly and wept. The red-eyed Haitian people resisted the invaders even more stubbornly, and the French could not defeat them, so they had to flee back to their country.
It was a victorious war at great cost and the first successful "independence" movement in Latin America, a movement of far-reaching significance that inspired the oppressed nations of the world.
Haiti is famous, Toussaint is famous, freedom and independence are famous!
Haiti is a very poor country, with less than a dollar of living per capita and has not yet established diplomatic relations with China. But the Haitian spirit is the richest asset of the "independent" spirit of the peoples of the world
