Bringing attention to VIDEO - Divided Island: How Haiti and the Dominican Republic became two worlds, The Truth: They Both were fighting for Spain, Toussaint turned to France because you lied, and then Dessaline felt cheated of his friend and moments of freedom when thethe Frechman Dessalines offered 7 years of freedom while he was alive as opposed to the other Frenchman who tortured him. Spain agreed with the torture at the time and the uncompesated work system.
essalines served under Louverture as one of the leaders of the uprising, meeting when both had enlisted to fight with the Spanish.
Once the French proclaimed the abolition of slavery on the island in 1794, they fought together for Revolutionary France against the invading British and Spanish armies, and the pro-slavery supporters within Saint Domingue's society.
Napoleon Bonaparte's rise to power in France changed the picture again, threatening the restoral of slavery throughout the French Caribbean.
Dessalines resisted the new French invasion and united a coalition of former slaves and free people, rising to pre-eminence thanks to the capture of Louverture and his successful defensive campaign in 1802-3.
