The former slave and general [[Toussaint L'Ouverture]] had created a constitution appointing him President for life, although he still swore loyalty to the French nation. Napoleon feared losing control of the French colony.
 
With a large expedition of warships and a total of 40,000 European troops, the French won several victories after severe fighting. With the tide turning, a number of Louverture's key officers, whom Leclerc promised would maintain their ranks in the French Army, abandoned the old general. L'Ouverture was forced to negotiate an honorable surrender, and he promised to retire to tend his plantations.
