Camp Turel Proclamation, Aug. 29, 1793

“Brothers and friends I am Toussaint Louverture; perhaps my name has made itself known to you. I have undertaken vengeance. I want Liberty and Equality to reign in Saint Domingue. I am working to make that happen. Unite yourselves to us, brothers, and fight with us for the same cause.

Your very humble and obedient servant,

Toussaint Louverture. General of the armies of the king, for the public good.”
