  About Jean Jacques Dessaline !!
  
  Dessalines served as an officer in the French army, when the colony was fending off Spanish and British incursions. Later he rose to become a commander in the revolt against France. As Toussaint Louverture's principal lieutenant, he led many successful engagements, including the Battle of Crête-à-Pierrot.
  
  After the betrayal and capture of Toussaint Louverture in 1802, Dessalines became the leader of the revolution. He defeated a French army at the Battle of Vertières in 1803. Declaring Haiti an independent nation in 1804, Dessalines was chosen by a council of generals to assume the office of governor-general. He ordered the 1804 Haiti massacreof the white Haitian minority, resulting in the deaths of between 3,000 and 5,000 people, between February and April 1804.[3] In September 1804, he was proclaimed emperor by the Generals of the Haitian Revolution Army and ruled in that capacity until being assassinated in 1806.

  Haitian Revolution statues worth millions of dollars!
  Champ de Mars is a beautiful public square in the capital of Haiti. Several statues of Haiti's founding fathers dot Champs de Mars. Namely, Toussaint Louverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, Alexander Pétion and Henri Christophe, Le Marron Inconnu (the Unknown Slave), the priceless statue of the unknown slave blowing a conch-shell trumpet.
