Haiti and Kenya independence · TURNING POINT ·
Cap-Français (1789–1803)
1789–1803 — Slave ships brought their captives to the colony’s great port, known as the ‘Paris of the Antilles.’ Ogé was executed in its square in 1791. Sonthonax proclaimed emancipation here in 1793, and Toussaint proclaimed his constitution here in 1801. The town burned in both 1793 and 1802; today it is Cap-Haïtien.
