why and how did the french kill TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE and what was his words before his death?
Answer: L'Overture signed a treaty with the French in Cap-Haïtien, with the condition that there would be no return to slavery, and retired to his farm in Ennery. However, after three weeks, Leclerc sent troops to seize Toussaint and his family, shipping them to France on board a warship, since he was suspected of plotting an uprising. They reached France on July 2. On August 25, 1802, Toussaint was sent to the castle Fort-de-Joux in Doubs, where he was confined and interrogated repeatedly, and where he died of pneumonia in April 1803.
“No RETALIATION” was his great motto and the rule of his life; and the last words uttered to his son in France were these: “My boy, you will one day go back to St. Domingo; forget that France murdered your father.”

how come white people dont have a national holiday for nat turner, john brown and TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE?
Answer: Why would white people celebrate people who killed other white people? I see that you are trying to say "why don't white people celebrate people who tried to end slavery" but their methods did not work (except Louverture of course but look at the sad condition of Haiti these days). They were all murderers. Turner killed 60+ people in his rebellion, Louverture was partly responsible for killing all white people in Haiti and Brown was responsible for the Pottawatomie Massacre. All were killed for their actions. I am actually a fan of Louverture and have written several papers on Caribbean revolutions in the late 18th and early 19th century. It is fascinating to me.

Small summary of TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE?
Thank you so much anything really simple but gets to the main points would be AMAZING
Answer: François-Dominique Toussaint L'Ouverture (1743 - April 7, 1803) was one of the leaders of the Haitian slave revolt of 1791 and a major figure in the struggles that followed.
Toussaint was reputed to be of the western African Arrada tribe. His father, Gaou-Guinou, had been brought to Saint-Domingue and sold to the Count de Breda. Toussaint was the eldest son and his date of birth is given as either May 20 or November 1 (All Saints' Day procuring the name Toussaint). He also took the surname Breda from his owner. De Breda was relatively humane and happy to encourage Toussaint to learn to read and write. He was already a noted horse rider and herbalist before his subsequent military and political career. He married a woman called Suzan and they had a son, named Placide.
Though it was not widely known during his lifetime, Toussaint was in fact a free man by the time of the great slave uprising he would eventually help lead. He was freed from slavery at about the age of 33 and colonial records show that he leased a field of about 15 hectares with 13 slaves to grow coffee. At the time of this lease he was still unable to sign, or write, though he would learn these skills before the revolution.
The French Revolution of 1789 had a powerful impact on the island. Inspired by the new philosophies of the Enlightenment, "liberté, egalité, et fraternité", the French proclaimed the Rights of Man to include all free men. When this promise was withdrawn under pressure from the plantation owners it sparked widespread slave risings. Toussaint did not participate in the campaign of Vincent Ogé, a wealthy free man of color whose attempt to claim voting rights for this group in October 1790 was brutally crushed. But he became an aide to Georges Biassou in the insurgency of August in the following year. He rose rapidly, the Black army proved to be surprisingly successful against the fever-ravaged and poorly-led European troops. In 1793 Toussaint briefly allied with the Spanish and gained the nickname L'Ouverture which he adopted as his surname. Later that year the British occupied most of the coastal settlements of Haiti including Port-au-Prince.
In 1793 Léger Félicité Sonthonax and Étienne Polverel, representatives of the French revolutionary government in Paris, offered freedom to slaves who would join them as they struggled to defeat White counter-revolutionaries and fight the foreign invaders. On February 4, 1794, these emancipation orders were ratified by the Revolutionary legislature in Paris, now largely Jacobin, which abolished slavery throughout all territories of the French Republic. In early May, 1794, Toussaint left the Spanish and joined the French army, bringing thousands of Black soldiers with him. Under Toussaint's increasingly influential leadership, this French army of Black, Mulatto, and White soldiers defeated the British and Spanish forces.
After Toussaint's army won seven battles in one week against them in January of that year, the British withdrew from Haiti in 1798. In 1799 he invaded Saint-Domingue's southern peninsula and defeated the Mulatto general André Rigaud, his last major rival for power in the colony. The Spanish were defeated in 1800. Toussaint drafted a committee to write a constitution for the colony, which went into effect in 1801.
When Napoleon came to power in France, he began to work with colonists to return France's Caribbean territories to their earlier profitablity as plantation colonies. Denying that he was trying to reinstate slavery, Napoleon's brother-in-law Charles Leclerc attempted to regain French control of the island in 1802. Toussaint was invited to negotiate a settlement. Attending a meeting under safe conduct he was seized and shipped to France, where he died in captivity in the Fort de Joux in Doubs in 1803.

What was TOUSSAINT LOUVERTURE accomplishments?
Answer: oussaint was a truly great man. He was born a slave, was taught to read & write - fled to join the Spanish army in the spanish half of the Island of Hispaniola. Returned, beat the colonial French, saw off the Spanish in their half, beat a British, American and French blockade and created the first black republic in the World.
When he was betrayed and captured he was taken to France, imprisonment and death - French soldiers lined the route from the port to the prison saluting a man they recognised as a great general.
His story is one of the most inspiring stories from history, sadly not widely known, and shows how much can be achieved against seemingly insurmountable odds.

WHY DID TOUSSAINT-LOUVERTURE CHANGE SIDES, GIVING HIS SUPPORT TO THE SPANISH AND FRENCH?
THXS!!!
Answer: Arguably he never changed sides, as he always fought for the enslaved, the mixed race and the maroon (escaped slaves who lived in the mountains) people of the island of Hispaniola. He thought that by joining the Spanish army he would learn military skills and they might be in a position to kick out the French.
He joined the French AFTER the French Revolution which proclaimed "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity" - L'Ouverture saw this as the end of slavery in the French colonies: unfortunately he was wrong.
