iciHaiti - History : Tribute to Alexandre Pétion, one of the Fathers of the Fatherland 02/04/2022 09:49:15
[...] Then Pétion, on the boat 'La Virtue', the frigate which transported the mulattoes, seeing in the distance the flames of the fire of the Cap, drops, like a sigh, '...We will not go to Madagascar !' Already assured that Toussaint was not going to let it go and that Leclerc’s staff would need the service and experience of his brothers. From that day, until practically his accession to the presidency of Haiti, on March 9, 1807, Alexandre Pétion is despite himself, and sometimes, deliberately involved in most of the major events at the apotheosis of January 1st, 1804 and the emergence of this Republic." (Alexandre Pétion: April 2, 1770 – March 29, 1818) Source : Pierre Buteau, "La Fondation de la République, Les Trésors de la République", pp 194 - 201 IH/ iciHaiti
