In this episode of our series on the Haitian Revolution, we witness the end of the war that had ravaged Saint-Domingue for 5 years. As Toussaint Louverture begins to chart a course for the colony independent from France, an attempt by the French government to reassert control sets the stage for a deadly civil war.
