-The mulattos, jealous of Toussaint's influence over Laveaux and humiliated by the Laveaux's exposure of [[Jean Baptiste Villatte]]'s corruption and disloyalty, plotted to remove the governor.  They seized him on March 20, [[1796]] and threw him in jail for five days before Toussaint effected his release.  [[This Gilded African|Parkinson]] writes that he was elderly at this point, but he would have been only 45; possibly he had a weak constitution as he was apparently quite shaken by the ordeal.

 Toussaint gently nudged him out of the country on the pretext of Laveaux's value as [[Saint-Domingue]]'s representative to the French Chamber of Deputies and to the Senate. ([[This Gilded African|Parkinson]], pp. 104-105) Markus Rainsford quotes Laveaux as having said about Toussaint: "''[Toussaint Louverture is] the negro, the Spartacus, foretold by Raynal, whose destiny it was to avenge the wrongs committed on his race."''
