Toussaint Louverture and Haiti

Good news, I talked to my teacher, and our group is allowed to research Haiti! Yaaaaaaaaaay! It's part of the Carribean, but it can be included when people are talking about Latin America. That means we're allowed to research Toussaint Louverture, who was a slave who rose up, broke free of slavery, and ended up leading the Haitian Revolution. I think that's really cool. Make sure to keep reading for more information about the people, events, and inventions/innovations of our time period.

  1. Caroline, Brendan, and Liam, I love what you have done with this website. Your map, pictures, writings all flow very well together. Caroline, you should be a website designer. Could you now post a poll and/or video on to the site? I would also like you to create a slideshow with pictures from the research you have been conducting. What did your group seminar on this week?

    1. We did a seminar that was a fragment of a proclamation by General Dessalines, who was the first ruler of Haiti after Toussaint Louverture died.
