Toussaint now controls the whole island and persuades the Central Assembly to declare him Governor-General for life with the right to name a successor. All males 14-55 are required to join the militia.

Toussaint revives the plantation economy and orders the importation of black workers. In one decade of war one third of the population of Saint Domingue has perished.

The economy remains viable but blacks are understandably confused about their social situation.
