Haiti Declares Independence and Rejects Foreign Control
The document asserts Haiti will not surrender its liberty, condemns slave-trading plots, and warns foreign powers against invasion. It calls on world rulers to recognize independence, vows defense of sovereignty, and pledges protection to compliant merchants while insisting on peace and noninterference. The piece closes with a biographical sketch of Dr Leyden and its ties to the colony’s fate.
