Who led rebels in Haiti to win Independence from France?

Toussaint L'Ouverture was the prominent leader of the Haitian Revolution, which ultimately led to Haiti's independence from France. His strategic military leadership and diplomatic skills helped unite various factions of enslaved people and free people of color against colonial rule. L'Ouverture's efforts culminated in the successful revolt that began in 1791, although he was later captured by the French and died in captivity in 1803. Haiti officially declared independence on January 1, 1804, under the leadership of Jean-Jacques Dessalines, who succeeded L'Ouverture.
