. -- he was probably embittered. when he went to the caribbean to to participate in the french attempts to reconquer haiti, to put the former slaves back into slavery, napoleon failed to reconquer haiti. and that frenchman died on that mission. he was the only one that never made it back to france. this is the tricky part about writing about people. some of them you spend years researching and you get charmed by them. he was a major disappointment to me, his life, on this mission to put people back into slavery. but all of them went back to france. some of them especially had the most distinguished careers and france. it was almost a kind of funny thing, because these people in a sense along to french history. -- belonged to french history. they have this moment where they appear in american history, which is my field, and it helps me think about american history and its connections between friends, the caribbean -- france, the caribbean and with other parts of the world. realizing that the solidity of these boundari
