Although d’Angers’s bronze relief depicts a moment of capitulation, when the formerly enslaved Toussaint Louverture (1743–1803), commander of the Haitian revolutionary army, surrendered to authorities sent by Napoleon to regain French control in the colony of Saint-Domingue, the uprising ultimately succeeded. Slavery was abolished in Haiti, which became the first independent nation  in Latin America, and the first post-colonial, independent, Black-led nation in the world.
