| Summary | "St. Domingo, its revolution and its hero, Toussaint Louverture" by C. W. Elliott is a historical discourse written in the mid-19th century. The work delves into the tumultuous history of St. Domingo during the era of revolution, focusing notably on the life and significance of Toussaint Louverture, the key figure in the fight against slavery and colonial oppression. Through Elliott's narrative, readers can expect to explore the harsh realities faced by the enslaved population and the political complexities of their struggle for freedom. The opening of the narrative discusses the prevailing prejudices against black individuals and sets the stage for the exploration of Toussaint Louverture's life as a beacon of hope amidst the oppression. The text addresses the historical context of St. Domingo, detailing the influence of slavery on the island's economy and the growing discontent which eventually led to revolts. As it progresses, the book outlines the social structures and dynamics of race that played pivotal roles in the Revolution, providing insights into initial rebellions, the ideologies underpinning the fight for independence, and the slowly rising figure of Louverture as a leader and symbol of resistance.
