Answer:
Toussaint Louverture's work as a liberator of slaves was more important than his role as a military leader.
Step-by-step explanation:
Toussaint Louverture was a Haitian black military leader and politician, the most important figure of the Haitian revolution. He is the first black leader to defeat the armies of European colonial powers in his own country.
In 1793 he led an anti-French uprising in the western part of Hispaniola (known as Saint-Domingue), which grew successfully with the help of Spanish troops. When the French Republic officially abolished slavery, he joined France with his army. In 1796, he allegedly commanded an army of 51,000 men, 3,000 of whom were white. He defeated the Spaniards several times and pushed out the British army, until in 1800 he completely took control of the entire island of Hispaniola (today's Haiti and the Dominican Republic). A year later, he abolished slavery on the whole island, and in 1802 he was proclaimed king for life. In the same year, he fought another fight against the French, which, however, did not lead to a victorious end. He was captured and transported to France, where he soon died.
