In 1802, as Napoleon's expeditionary force tried to re-enslave Saint-Domingue, one woman stood out in the mountains of L'Artibonite. Sanité Bélair was a free woman of color who became a lieutenant in Toussaint Louverture's army, leading guerrilla bands alongside her husband Charles Bélair. She was captured, condemned, and executed in March 1802, but her story reveals how women fought, commanded, and died for Haitian independence. This episode pieces together her life from the few surviving records — her rank, her capture, her refusal to betray, and the execution scene where she asked her husband to die bravely. It also explores the broader role of women in Haiti's revolutionary armies: as soldiers, spies, nurses, and bearers of supplies, often erased from official history. We look at how the French described her, how Haitian oral tradition remembers her, and what her story tells us about the promise and limits of revolutionary gender roles. #SanitéBélair #HaitianRevolution #WomenInHistory #CharlesBélair #LArtibonite #ToussaintLouverture #Napoleon #Leclerc #WomenSoldiers #Haiti #SaintDomingue #1802 #CaribbeanHistory #GuerrillaWar #HistoryOfResistance #FexingoHistory #WomenWarriors #OralTradition Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
