Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After Toussaint L'Ouverture's arrest and deportation, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, one of his lieutenants, took over the resistance and ultimately led the Haitian forces to a crushing victory over the French. On January 1, 1804, he declared Haitian independence and became the first leader of the newly formed nation. Option A is incorrect as André Rigaud was actually a rival to both L'Ouverture and Dessalines, and was not involved in the final push for independence. Option B is also incorrect as the Spanish did not invade to aid the Haitians, and in fact were enemies of the Haitians. Option D is also incorrect as the British were involved in the conflict, but did not ultimately allow the Haitians to form their own nation.
