Title: Toussaint L'Ouverture Holding Haitian Constitution,1801
Caption: L'Ouverture holding a copy of the Constitution of 1801, standing opposite a bishop appealing to an image of God or Moses in the heavens. Toussaint L'Ouverture (May 20, 1743 - April 7, 1803) was a Haitian general who transformed a slave insurgency into a movement, the Haitian Revolution. By 1800 Saint-Domingue, the most prosperous French slave colony of the time, had become the first free colonial society to have rejected race as the basis of social ranking. L'Ouverture created a de facto autonomous colony and the constitution proclaimed him governor for life. No artist credited, undated (cropped and cleaned.)
