Answer:
Toussaint L'Ouverture wrote this letter to inspire a rebellion against the French.
Explanation:
Toussaint L'Ouverture was the leader of the Haitian Revolution, which led to the abolition of slavery and the independence of the French colony of Saint-Domingue as the republic of Haiti.
In 1793, L'Ouverture allied with Spain, which had the eastern part of the island of Hispaniola (today's Dominican Republic). Spain was then at war with France, in part of the French Revolutionary War. Later that year, Britain also invaded Saint-Domingue and occupied the coasts.
On February 4, 1794, the Jacobin-dominated National Convention ratified an offer of release for all slaves loyal to the revolution. This led to L'Ouverture taking his forces to the French Revolutionary Army, where he became Brigadier General. He defeated Britain and Spain in several battles, and in practice became Saint-Domingue's leader. However, he declared himself loyal to the French First Republic. In 1801, having also conquered the Spanish part of Hispaniola, he promulgated a constitution for an autonomous Haiti.
When Napoleon Bonaparte became the leader of France, he began to strive to re-enact slavery in Saint-Domingue. In May 1802, L'Ouverture surrendered to Napoleon's forces on the condition that he could retain his freedom and that his troops should be incorporated into the French army. However, the French general Leclerc broke his promise and captured L'Ouverture a month later. L'Ouverture was taken to France, where he in fact died of cold, starvation and ill-treatment in 1803.
Answer: Cassandane or Cassandra (Ancient Greek: Κασσανδάνη Kassandanē) was an Achaemenian Persian noblewoman and the "dearly loved" wife of Cyrus the Great. She was a daughter of Pharnaspes. She bore four children for Cyrus (it may be 5 based on the documented children listed under Cyrus the Great): Cambyses II, who succeeded his father and conquered Egypt; Smerdis (Bardiya), who also reigned as the king of Persia for a short time; a daughter named Atossa, who later wed Darius the Great; and another daughter named Roxana.[1]
Her daughter Atossa later played an important role in the Achaemenid royal family, as she married Darius the Great and bore him the next Achaemenid king, Xerxes I. Atossa had a "great authority" in the Achaemenid royal house and her marriage with Darius I is likely due to her power, influence and the fact that she was a direct descendant of Cyrus.[2] When Cassandane died, all the nations of Cyrus' Persian empire observed "a great mourning". This is reported by Herodotus. According to a report in the chronicle of Nabonidus, there was a public mourning after her death in Babylonia lasting for six days.[citation needed] According to a suggestion by M. Boyce, Cassandane's tomb is located at Pasargadae.
