Abstract: Abstract On October 24, 1801, Victor-Emmanuel Leclerc, First Counsel Napoleon Bonaparte’s brother-in-law, was named commander-in-chief of what would be the largest expeditionary army ever to sail from France. The mission? To reclaim France’s most lucrative colony and to restore the institution of slavery; or, as Napoleon commanded Leclerc, to leave no epaulette on any black shoulder. In 1791, black slaves in Saint-Domingue began the revolt against the colonial masters, a struggle that would end in 1804 with the founding of the world’s first black republic.
