Fragmentary historical manifesto arguing independence from French rule. It proclaims liberty or death, pleads for national unity, condemns French domination, and laments lingering French influence in Haiti. It calls citizens to rally, assemble, and pursue a sovereign empire of liberty.
In forceful rhetoric, speakers warn Native citizens that outsiders are not their brothers and will bring trouble. They urge families to see the danger and condemn servile conquest, urging to imitate free nations and resist proselytism while preserving peace under lawful governance.
The speaker calls Haitians to terrify enemies and execute harsh justice against any French presence, declaring that true liberty requires ruthless resolve. He frames himself as sentinel and guardian, pledging to place the sacred trust in the hands of the people to preserve freedom and resist foreign domination.
A dated proclamation recounts a pledge of liberty and resistance to French dominion. Generals and witnesses vow to renounce tyranny, fight to death if needed, and live free from despotism. The document, signed at Headquarters Gon naives on January 1, 1804, names J. J. Dessatenns and others including Arthur Brent and Willie Davis as attendees.
