"...The battle of Vètyè on Nov. 18, 1803, was the turning point in the
Haitian revolution. It was the last battle for us, the one that won  
us our
liberty after 300 years of European enslavement. After Napoleon’s  
army was
defeated by Haitians that day, the French general, Rochmambeau,  
negotiated his
safe conduct out.

At the battle of Vètyè, the Africans faced 10,000 French soldiers.  
Our people
were outnumbered, outgunned. Yet these, our glorious ancestors, these  
poor,
illiterate, starving and enslaved Africans defeated the most powerful  
Euro army
of that time.

Kapwa Lamò was a Haitian soldier in Dessaline’s army who distinguished
himself so well at the battle of Vètyè that today his name has become
synonymous with Haitians’ indomitable courage and will.

At the battle of Vètyè, bullets killed Kapwa Lamò’s horse. He  
continued on
foot. Bullets shot off his hat. He continued charging forward. French  
canon
fire tossed him many feet in the air. He got up and continued on foot  
as the
canon booms paved his advance.

Finally Napoleon’s Gen. Rochambeau raised a flag for a pause and sent  
his
compliments to the “valiant general who has just covered himself in such
glory.” (Excerpted from 'If they shoot at us, they are doomed. If  
they don't
shoot at us, they are doomed!' March, 2005 by Marguerite Laurent
