Abstract

The article discusses the military career, legacy, and death of Haitian Revolution leader Toussaint Louverture. Topics explored include the health condition and symptoms presented by Louverture before his dead body was discovered by a prison guard in France in April 1803, the way racism prevented him from receiving adequate medical care during his imprisonment, and the commitment he demonstrated to the abolition of slavery during the French colonial rule in Saint-Domingue, Haiti.
