In May 1794, Toussaint Louverture transferred his forces from the Spanish alliance to the French Republic. Historians disagree about the exact date and the balance of motives; 6 May appears in one influential chronology, while other accounts place the declaration on 4 or 5 May. The shift followed France’s 4 February abolition decree, news of which may not yet have reached Toussaint when he made the move. His choice helped defend emancipation against British and Spanish intervention, while also advancing his own military and political position.
