This map depicts the positions of Tousaaint Louverture's troops during the siege of Jacmel, part of the 1799-1800 War of the Knives, after which Toussaint assumed control over all of Saint Domingue. A series of revolutionary uprisings in Saint Domigue (Haiti) between 1791 and 1804 led to Haiti achieving independence on 1st January 1804, and becoming the first country to permanently ban slavery. In 1793, Britain, which controlled neighbouring plantation colonies which were reliant on the labour of enslaved people, saw the uprisings as an opportunity for seizing control of one of France's most lucrative colonies. The British withdrew in 1798, having been been defeated by the revolutionary army of formerly enslaved people led by Toussaint Louverture. Duckworth took part in the campaign in 1795 and commanded the fleet in 1796. He was Commander in Chief at Barbados and the Leeward Islands 1800-1803, and at Jamaica 1803-1804. This is one of a number of French maps which came into his possession. Antoine-François Sorrel des Revières, who made this map, formerly held sugar plantation estates on Saint Domingue. He moved to Louisiana as a result of the Haitian Revolution.
