Toussaint L'Ouverture

Toussaint and his “Lost Millions”

Haiti is a place that I have never been but I have had the pleasure to share a similar experience of people born or related to Haiti. Haiti is a place from descriptions of my brother Asafo is very similar to Ghana. Ghana is a West Alkebulan state which is in itself is tropical and a beauty. The energy of one visiting is very pleasant and the energy is different to the energy of America. Many have claimed that their soul and energy felt replenished after visiting Ghana and the same is said about Alkebulan, Haiti, Cuba, Brazil and other parts of the world with Alkebulan people.
`We will travel to the world of one of our dearest ancestor Toussaint Louverture of Haiti. Toussaint was born in May 20, 1743 in Haiti. People will try to label him the black Napoleon but this should not be his legacy. He was a man who envisioned liberty, justice, dignity and empowerment of all Alkebulan and sacrificed his life for his people. He had a plan that was never accomplished because of betrayal of powers that be and unfortunate fate of destiny.
Haiti was the colonial possession of the French. Enslaved Alkebulanians were brought to the Americas by slavers (ships) some notable called “Jesus”. Alkebulanians were dropped off in places like Brazil, Cuba, Colombia, Haiti and many other places. In Haiti, the indigenous people living on the island were dying at a rapid pace from being exposed to European diseases so the French stole, bought and whatever they could to get Alkebulanians from western states like Senegal, Ghana, Gambia, Nigeria and many other nations. They stole Mathematicians, engineers, warriors, scholars, Asafos, and many others.
The examination here is going to be directed towards the energy of Toussaint who was by no means a coward, less than a man, cruel, indecent or all other labels. This is a quote found “Toussaint learned of Africa from his father, who had been born a free man there. He learned that he was more than a slave, that he was a man with brains and dignity. He was fortunate in having a liberal master who had him trained as a house servant and allowed him to learn to read and write. Toussaint took full advantage of this, reading every book he could get his hands on.” This was a man who understood philosophy and studied the knowledge and applied it to create a powerful entity such as sovereignty.
Toussaint studied about liberty, rights, equality, sovereignty, and nationhood. He understood the philosophies concerning these subjects. This was the same reasons that America attained independence. The framers of the constitution fought for independence based on the ideologies of John Locke and Jean-Jacques Rosseau. The later who contributed the understanding of the atrocities in slavery and depriving men of their hueman rights to Toussaint. Social contracts (philosophers) in Alkebulan history have contributed to the vast understanding of these things such as the Ptah Hotep, Imhotep, Ahkmenrah, and many others.
The vision of Toussaint after successful defeating Napoleon was to form a government and establish a system of sovereignty for Haiti and its new destiny. He worked hard to collect money that saved. He saved $6million which he was going to use as tool to establish a base in Dahomey, Alkebulan. Dahomey is now present day Benin. Benin is the second neighbor of Ghana and left to Nigeria. Togo is between Ghana and Benin. These nations Ethiopia, Togo, Liberia, Ghana, Mali, Burkina Faso, Zaire, Azania, Tripoli, Benin, Ivory Coast, Senegal and Nigeria are a powerhouse for the Alkebulan mind.  The whole continent of Alkebulan is a powerhouse.
As you can see, Toussaint was very strategic to have defeated Napoleon who at the time was considered the most powerful genral. Toussaint had no prior knowledge of military strategy. There were other forces that were used but this information will be on the EBook so make sure you check this out.
Toussaint unfortunately was tricked by Napoleon on basis of reconciliation. Napoleon was willing to acknowledge Haiti’s independence if Toussaint met with him. When Toussaint agreed to meet with him, Napoleon had him captured and sent to imprisonment by coldness, starvation and negligence. Toussaint was hit with the double sword because he died in prison and the $6million that he gave to Stephen Girard of French-American descent was never given to his family. Toussaint was betrayed by Napoleon and Stephen.
 Stephen became the richest man of his day with Toussaint’s money and donated the rest of his millions after death to Girard College in Philly. He also specified that the money used for only whites and coal for poor whites of Philly. Napoleon also had an interesting view when asked about his treatment of Toussaint, “Napoleon merely remarked, what could the death of one wretched Negro mean to me?” – History Wiz
Toussaint was a warrior, scholar and one who believed in sacrifice like Marcus Garvey, Hannibal and many others. You learn from their example and create a success that will impact your community and people. These people were powerful from servitude not from individualism. The “lost millions” is being used for another energy but the energy within this lost has been passed to the subsequent generations for them to create much more.
