@montesquiou_whs I hope it is true.

@AgustineDeIturd Yea, you know, Independence isn’t so bad.

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

@GJacquesDanton Down with the King!!! He’s nothing but trouble for everyone. #timetogo

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

@GJacquesDanton France is pretty horrible.

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

@GJacquesDanton I know what it feels like to be in charge of it all. #nohelp#makesusstronger

I’m glad to hear that my name has not been totally spat upon. October 17, the anniversary of my passing, is now a holiday. Not only that, but my legacy is tied into the national anthem. #howproud #woohoo

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

Seems there’s a bit of a predicament in my absence. Those two bafoons who do brutally murdered me can’t figure out how to run Haiti. #karma #imbaciles

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

I just found out my limbs were chopped off as well. That hurt😭#why #ouch #rude

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

October 17, 1806 I was killed. But the pain does not end there. I was dragged through the city like a rat, paraded for the world to see. I feel the disrespect is horrific considering all I’ve done for these people. #tsktsk #quitedisapointing

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

In my last moments, I would like to broadcast two things: 1. I am very proud of the accomplishments I have made including the independence of Haiti and 2. I hate the French. #nochill #lastwords #oneforthebooks

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

I’ve been betrayed by my lieutenants. I should’ve known I could not trust men such as these. Nevertheless I did, and this is the price I have to pay. I was brutally attacked by these two men and I will not be here much longer. #tragic #noloyalty

How long do u think it takes to bleed out? #justwondering #lastminutethoughts #ouch

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

I’m a goner...
#ouch #deathiscoming

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

I take it back, I have saved my country and in doing so avenged America. #noapologies

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

I’ve heard I “govern with terror”. I like to think of it more as the ability to gently guide them into the right mindset. #notascartperson #iloveallmyhatians

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

Our economy is booming!!! I would like to thank Great Britain and the United States for the reliable commerce. #gettingitdone #weknowhowtowork

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

I think I may have gone overboard. #doesntlooktoogoodonpaper

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

Do u ever feel like people are plotting against you? #probablyjustinmyhead

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

Have you guys met my awesome lieutenants Henry Christophe and Alexander Pétion? #cooldudes

[Jean Jacques Desalines @therealjeanjacq]

I think I may have caused a little bit of an uproar. #noharmintended #whoops
