Document 1

Boukman Dutty, the maroon leader of the slave rebellion in its initial stages, who was reputed to have led vodoo ceremonies


"The god who created the sun which gives us light, who rouses the waves and rules the storm, though hidden in the clouds, he watches us. He sees all that the white man does. The god of the white man inspires him with crime, but our god calls upon us to do good works. Our god who is good to us orders us to revenge our wrongs. He will direct our arms and aid us. Throw away the symbol of the god of the whites who has so often caused us to weep, and listen to the voice of liberty, which speaks in the hearts of us all."



Document 2

Toussaint L’Ouverture, leader of the Haitian revolution, after his capture and imprisonment by the French

“In overthrowing me, you have done no more than cut down the trunk of the tree of the black liberty in St-Domingue-it will spring back form the roots, for they are numerous and deep.”

Document 3

London Gazette, from an editorial December 12, 1798


“Toussaint is a Negro and in the jargon of war has been called a brigand. But according to all accounts he is a Negro born to vindicate the claims of this species and to show that the character of men is independent of color”


Document 4

Henry Adams, descendant of John Adams, America’s foremost historian of the 18th & 19th centuries


“But the prejudice of race alone blinded the American people for the debt they owed to the desperate courage of 500,000 Haitian Negroes who would not be enslaved.”


Document 5

C.L.R. James, an Afro-Trinidadian historian, journalist, and socialist author of Black Jacobins in 1938


“The slaves received the whip with more certainty and regularity than they received their food. It was the incentive to work and the guardian of discipline.”


Document 6

John Relly Beard, British educational reformer and minister, who was a militant exponent and populariser of mid-Victorian Unitarianism 1800-1876 From his book The Life of Toussaint L’ouverture   published 1853

Toussaint was a negro. We wish emphatically to mark the fact that he was wholly without white blood. Whatever he was, and whatever he did, he achieved all in virtue of qualities which in kind are common to the African race. Though of negro extraction, Toussaint, if we may believe family traditions, was not of common origin. His great grandfather is reported to have been an African king.
