On October 17th 1806, Dessalines was assassinated north of Port-au-Prince, at Pont Larnage (now known as Pont-Rouge), on his way to fight the rebels. His assassination did not solve the tensions within the Haitian government, as his removal created a civil war and a temporary partition of Haiti between Alexandre Pétion and Henri Christophe. The circumstances of his death are uncertain. The mob desecrated and disfigured his remains, which were abandoned on Government Square. There was a lot of resistance to providing him with a proper burial, but Défilée (Dédée Bazile), a black woman from a humble background, took the mutilated body of the Emperor and buried it. A monument at the northern entrance of the Haitian capital marks the place where the Emperor was killed. – 17 oktòb 1806, yo te assassine Dessalines nan nò Pòtoprens, nan Pont Larnage (kounye a yo rele Pont-Rouge), sou wout pou l te al goumen kont rebèl yo.

Today is a celebratory day for all the haitian people around the world as we celebrate the Haitian Flag Day. The Haitian flag was adopted on May 18th 1803, on the last day of the Congress of Arcahaie. Haitian lore holds that the newly appointed revolutionary leader Jean-Jacques Dessalines created the flag by taking a French tricolor and ripping out the white center, which he discarded. He then asked Catherine Flon (p.4) to sew the remaining bands together. The white pale removed, the blue was taken to represent Haiti’s black citizens and the red the gens de couleur. – Aujourd’hui est un jour de célébration pour tous les Haïtiens du monde entier alors que nous célébrons le Jour du drapeau haïtien.

In Histoire d’Haïti, Madiou continued to work as a Haitian author before combating the portraits of Haiti on the foundation of the country. It covers an important part when it writes the first national history complete by a Haitian author. The story was not only valuable to Haitians, for all Africans in the Diaspora. To do so, his work, Madiou watched French writings and oral stories. He interviewed former revolutionary veterans during his trip across the country with General Joseph Balthazar Inginac, Secretary General of President Jean-Pierre Boyer. Her story tried to repel the reputation of the black leader of the Haitian Revolution, especially to Toussaint Louverture, showing it as a rebellion against the terrible slavery oppression. Historian Beaubrun Ardouin, contrary to Madiou’s work, showed the Haitian Revolution in a different context of Latin America’s independence and refused to put him in a racial character. Ardouin tried to make Haiti come into the United States of Ameri...
