Napoleon's troops, under the command of his brother-in-law, General Charles Emmanuel Leclerc, are to seize control of the island by diplomatic means, proclaiming peaceful intentions, and keeping secret his orders to deport all black officers.
Meanwhile, Toussaint is preparing for defense and ensuring discipline.
This may have contributed to a rebellion against forced labor led by his nephew and top general, Moïse, in October 1801.
It is violently repressed with the result that not all of Saint-Domingue will automatically be on Toussaint's side when the French ships arrive.
