Henri Christophe
Henry Christophe was the key leader of the Haitian Revolution and the sole monarch of the Kingdom of Haiti. Christophe is a former slave of the Bambara ethnic group in West Africa, and is probably of Igbo descent. From the slave uprising in 1791, he took power in the ranks of the Haitian Revolutionary Army. The revolution succeeded in gaining French independence in 1804. In 1805, he joined under Jean-Jacques Dessalines in the capture of Santo Domingo, against the French forces that had acquired colonies in Spain in The Basel Treaty. After the assassination of Dessalines, Christophe retreated to Plaine-du-Nord and formed a separate government. On February 17, 1807, he was elected President of the State of Haiti, as he named that district. Alexandre Pétion was elected president of the South. On March 26, 1811, Christophe created a kingdom in the north and was later proclaimed Henry I, King of Haiti.
