...not a part of history when and where she was, then France would never be the same, and maybe she would have died of old age and contributed nothing useful to life, and we wouldn’t be learning about her now, and I would not have written this paper. I guess anything is possible when you think of what COULD HAVE happened; opposed to the way it did happen really.

    François-Dominique Toussaint Fred L'Ouverture was born in Africa and was taken to Saint-Domingue, a French colony that is now present-day Haiti. In Saint-Domingue he was bought by the count de Breda. His owner was really nice to him, and helped encourage him to learn how to read and write. L'Ouverture eventually worked his way up to become De Breda's coachman, where he learned to become a very good horseman. At age 33 L'Ouverture was freed and he leased some land to grow coffee and other crops. When the French revolution came along L'Ouverture played a big part in the war. When British troops tried to occupy Haiti, L'Ouverture led a brigade of black, white, and Mullato to take it back. He defeated both the Spanish and the British on separate occasions and helped the French reach a trade agreement with the Americans. Late in his career he worked to try to separate Haiti from the French for good, and help Haiti become the great plantation nation it once was, but by that time Napoleon was in power and wouldn't let that happen. L'Ouverture was imprisoned in 1802 and died a year later of pneumonia.
