November 18, 1803 La “Bataille de Vertieres Sur La Butte Charrier”
This piece of work is the battle scene of the fight at Vertieres
At Vertieres, the Haitians fought the last major battle against the French expeditionary forces. This blow was a major loss for France and its colonial empire. This revolution was led by Jean-Jacques Dessalines and Francois Capois, nicknamed “Capois Lamort”.
Vertieres was a French-held fort near Cap Francois. In an attempt to reinstitute slavery as had been the case in other Caribbean possessions, and to stop the Haitian Revolution, Napoleon Bonaparte sent his troops to march on fort Vertieres where the French were defeated in big numbers. The French were led by General Rochambeau. This defeat forced the French to abandon their stronghold. |
