A contemporary account of the only successful slave revolt in history which resulted in the foundation of a state ruled by those formerly enslaved on the French Caribbean island of St. Domingue now Haiti. As the inclusion of Coulon's account read to the French National Assembly in this volume suggests the first black insurrection was entwined with the causes and effects of Revolutionary France which despite the 1789 Declaration of the Rights of Man sought albeit unsuccessfully to retake the island from the rebels.

18953632Port-au-Prince 1895. Letter signed “F. Hyppoliteâ€. Single folio sheet ca. 27 × 21 cm. Written in ink on one side folded. Light toning small edge wear old folds. Letter signed “F. Hyppoliteâ€. Single folio sheet ca. 27 × 21 cm. Written in ink on one side folded. <p><br /> Signed letter from Haitian President Florvil Hyppolite to prominent members of the Haitian intellectual diaspora in Paris including future ministers and historian Horace Pauléus Sannon.<br /> <p><p><br /> In this official yet personal letter addressed to Th. Mathieu Joseph Justin Horace Pauléus Sannon Adéca Yn. Pierre and Furcy Châtelain in Paris President Florvil Hyppolite 1828–1896 acknowledges the receipt of a tableau sent the previous year by a group of Haitians living in Paris. The tableau transmitted via Brutus Saint-Victor a prominent figure in Port-au-Prince who himself later served as a cabinet minister contained photographs of the senders. Writing with formal courtesy Hyppolite expresses his gratitude for this thoughtful gesture and conveys his warm appreciation and esteem to his correspondents.<br /> <p><p><br /> The signatories include several figures who would later become prominent in Haiti’s political and intellectual life. Justin Joseph was a jurist and writer who went on to serve briefly as Minister of Foreign Affairs in 1914 and authored significant works on Haitian law and foreign relations. Horace Pauléus Sannon 1870–1938 became one of Haiti’s most important historians and diplomats serving as foreign minister ambassador to France and author of landmark studies on the nation’s revolutionary past. Furcy Châtelain later held high office as both Minister of Justice and Minister of Foreign Affairs during the 1910s. The other two men Th. Mathieu and Adéca Yn. Pierre were likely members of the Haitian expatriate community in Paris though their identities remain less certain.<br /> <p><p><br /> Hyppolite’s presidency lasted from 1889 until his sudden death in 1896. Rising to power after years of internal conflict and foreign interference he worked to stabilize the government modernize the army and strengthen Haiti’s position in international affairs. His rule is often remembered for its emphasis on infrastructure projects including railway and port development and for efforts to maintain a careful balance between Haiti’s internal factions and the increasing influence of foreign powers particularly the United States Germany and France. This letter written near the end of his presidency is a testament to his connections not only with domestic political circles but also with Haitians abroad reflecting the networks of support and exchange that linked the republic to its intellectual and diplomatic communities overseas.<br /> <p>. unknown
