Under L'Ouverture, the Haitians got much better organized. He was a military general, so he was very smart in warfare, tactically strong, and knew the weaknesses of the French troops. This led to him being able to lead the Haitians to successful battles for freedom, but also to wisely retreat them when the situation was not suitable for them and save their lives.
