This is the central person of a 1938 book that ends with a note signed “G. Loveway” and an appendix that links this non-Cuban leader to Fidel Castro in a “quest for national identity.” This devoted Catholic prevented Georges Biassou from massacring prisoners and escorted them to Le Cap. This affranchi called themself the “trunk of the tree of liberty” as he was taken by the Créole and Héros warships to the Fort de Joux. This leader defeated André Rigaud in the War of (*) Knives. Alfred Auguste Nemours helped write a book subtitled for this person by C. L. R. James. The Black Jacobins details how this man and Jean-Jacques Dessalines led a successful slave uprising in Saint-Domingue. For 10 points, name this leader of the Haitian Revolution. ■END■
