I, Toussaint L'Ouverture, sat in my small tent with my generals, planning our next move.
"Tomorrow night we will attack the plantations at Petite Riviere and the warehouse ports at Le Cap," I said, looking over the hand-drawn map spread out on a wooden table.
"We need to get as many supplies as possible and burn the rest to keep them from getting to the French."
"I agree," said General JeanBaptiste Sanite Belair.
"We cannot let them get a foothold."
"We will also attack the plantations in the mountains, but not as many as we have attacked in the plains," I said, studying the map.
"We need to keep them guessing and not let them know where we will strike next."
"Yes," said General Henry Christophe.
"We have been successful thus far, Toussaint. The French have not been able to stop us."
"And they will not be able to stop us," I said confidently.
"We have the element of surprise on our side and we will continue to use it until we drive them from the island."
My generals nodded in agreement.
We had come a long way since August 1791 when the first slave revolt took place in Saint Domingue.
We had united the different factions and were fighting together against the French.
The former slave Boukman had given his life for that first revolt, but his sacrifice had not been in vain.
