 Haitians led by [[Jean-Jacques Dessalines]] and [[François Capois]] attacked a strong French-held fort of Vertières, near [[Cap François]] (in the north of Haiti) and won a decisive victory over French colonial army under [[General Comte de Rochambeau]] and forced him to capitulate the same night.
-The Haitian Ninth Brigade under François Capois played a crucial role in the victory and caused [[Napoléon]]'s troops to abandon their stronghold. This battle occurred less than two months before Dessalines declaration of independence (On [[January 1]], [[1804]]) and delivered the final blow to the French attempt to re-institute slavery, as had been the case in the other Caribbean possesions, and to stop the Haitian Revolution.
