    the French side of the island of Hispaniola and led it between 1793 and 1802.
    He faced Spanish, English, and French, until his capture, exile, and death in
    France. In 1803, Jean Jacques Dessalines finally defeated the French
    troops and, in 1804, declared the independence of Haiti. It was, thus, the
    second independent country in America, in this case, led by blacks in 1822.
