French forces seize and deport Toussaint Louverture

← Terug naar het dashboard
📅 7 Juni 1802 📍

Leclerc had Toussaint Louverture arrested after inviting him to a meeting, despite the recent settlement and assurances of safety. Toussaint and members of his family were sent to France and imprisoned without trial at Fort de Joux, where he died the next year. Removing a prominent leader did not end the revolution: resistance continued, now increasingly coordinated by commanders including Dessalines, Christophe, and Pétion.
