I remember posting at one time that Toussaint Louverture, who is often described as being against slavery and the general who beat Napoleon, that he supported forced labour. People disagreed, as they would. Well, Tom Holmberg has written a brilliant article on the real Toussaint. It is a very revealing and well researched article and well worth a read. napoleon-series.org Apologies, I thought my link would take readers direct to the article, but it only links to the website. But it can still be read by clicking on Winners of the Writing Competition 2015 tag. |

Buckeye AKA Darry! Thanks for that. It usually works when I have linked something but, for some reason, it came up as the website link rather than a direct link to the article. Anyway, much appreciated. |

Oh  It certainly is and I can see why it was a winning article. This website bleeped out your membership name in my post, but allowed it to be depicted on the website above your post space. LOL |

Yes me too. Thank you both for enabling me to read it. |
