More on La Bataille de Vertiere

The Battle of Vertières (in Haitian Creole Batay Vètyè) was the last major battle of the Haitian Revolution and the final part of the Haitian Revolution under Jean Jacques Dessalines. It was fought on 18 November 1803 between the Haitian indigenous army, and Napoleon’s French expeditionary forces, who were committed to regaining control of the island.

Vertières is situated just south of Cap-Haïtien (known then as Cap-Français), in the Départment du Nord, Haiti. By the end of October 1803, the forces fighting the expeditionary troops had already taken over most of the territory of St. Domingue. The only places controlled by the French forces were Môle St. Nicolas, held by Noailles, and Cap-Français, where, with 5,000 troops, French General Rochambeau was at bay.

The result of this battle guaranteed Haiti’s freedom and by proxy started the liberation of Blacks around the world. It also affords the US the opportunity to purchase land west of the Mississippi through the Louisiana Purchase. This surge in liberation spurred revolutions in South America which is why countries like Columbia and Venezuela share Haiti’s colors in their flags.

Yeah, the actions of a few changed the world.
