Close — but not quite. Toussaint Louverture died on April 7, 1803, not 1804. He died in the French prison at Fort‑de‑Joux in the Jura Mountains after being captured and deported by Napoleon’s forces in 1802. Haiti later proclaimed independence in 1804 under Jean‑Jacques Dessalines; Toussaint had been the central leader of the revolution earlier but did not live to see the final independence.
