Abstract
ID: 21
A military report was sent from Le Cap, Haiti on 6 August 1802 from the commander of the French forces in Haiti General LeClerc to his second in command Vicomte de Rochambeau. This report was written shortly after the capture of Haitian General Toussaint Louverture, who oversaw all Haitian revolutionary forces. While the French believed the capture brought the end of the war, it only prolonged their suffering as yellow fever was still killing at least 100 French soldiers a day. Within the report LeClerc shows a level of desperation, wanting to send his men home to get away from the disease. But without approval he restores to his second in command to launch unprovoked attacks against any Haitians outside the city. Yet it was because of the French staying within the cities that they continued to lose hundreds of men from yellow fever. I argue that not only did Haitian revolutionary leaders use the yellow fever pandemic of 1802 to cripple the French forces, but that General Toussaint Louverture knowingly used the disease and secured safe locations prior to the French invasion which ensured that the French were put in the heaviest containment points on the island.
