Padre Jean

Padre Jean (or Padrejean) was a slave on the island of Hispaniola.^[1] In 1676, he attempted to overthrow his slavemaster and consequently form a revolution.^[2] This occurred in the town of Port-de-Paix. This is stated to have been the spark that led to the eventual Haitian Revolution.^[3] He freed slaves and fled to Tortuga Island.^[4]^{[self-published source]} He lived there until 1679 when his location was discovered. After this the French sent some maroons who killed him.^[5]
