On this day of March 29th 1818, Anne Alexandre Sabès, also known as Alexandre Pétion died. Pétion named the general Boyer as his successor; he took control in 1818 following the death of Pétion from yellow fever. After Henry I and his son died in 1820, Boyer reunited the country under his rule. Bolivar is celebrated in the Latin american countries for the help he provided to Simon Bolivar in freeing many latin american countries.(Source:Wikipedia / Picture credit: John Carter Brown Library, circa 1807-1818 / Bust by: Christian Oviedo)

On January 27th 1801, Toussaint Louverture invaded the eastern part of Hispaniola, captured Santo Domingo and declared freedom for all slaves on, he then appointed a ten-member Central Assembly to issue a constitution.
However, under Napoleon Bonaparte, France reimposed slavery in most of its Caribbean islands in 1802. Napoleon sent an army led by Charles Leclerc to bring order and reimpose slavery in Saint-Domingue.

Following those events, thousands of the French troops succumbed to yellow fever by the summer, and more than half of the French army died because of disease.
