The Final Steps of the French
žNapoleon sent a
large army to Saint-Domingue
to replace Toussaint with a
trusted white general.
žToussaint was tricked onto a ship and was taken to France, where he died in prison.
žThe army that
he had trained declared
war on the French, led by two
of Toussaint's subordinates, Jean-Jacques
Dessalines and Henri
Christophe.
žAfter a bitter
struggle, the former slaves
defeated Napoleon's forces, massacred
or drove all whites off the
island, and changed the name of
the colony to the aboriginal name
"Haiti"
