Week 5.1: Toussaint Louverture in Power, 1798-1801

Reading:
Jeremy D. Popkin, A Concise History of the Haitian Revolution, 90-113
Toussaint Louverture, From Constitution of the French Colony of Saint-Domingue, 1801 (course packet--bring to class)

Homework: While reading A Concise History of the Haitian Revolution we will be using the double journal entry activity. The full directions are listed on the handout here, but remember to write 2-3 sentences per entry and each entry should come from a different subheading in the assigned reading.

You will also need to print and bring Toussaint Louverture's From Constitution of the French Colony of Saint-Domingue, 1801  which is located in your course packet. Reading this document before coming to class will make our course discussion that much better.
