Jean Pierre Boyer

BOYER, Jean Pierre, president of Hayti, born in Port au Prince, 28 February, 1776; died in Paris, 9 July, 1850. He was a mulatto, and first became known in the revolution of 1792, fighting against the planters and then against the Negroes. He fled to France, but returned to Hayti with General Victor Leclerc to fight for the restoration of the colony to France. Afterward he took an active part in other civil contests, including one caused by Christopher when he proclaimed himself emperor. In 1818 Boyer succeeded Petion as president of the republic, which office he held for twenty-four years, until his tyranny and misadministration produced his fall. He immigrated to Jamaica, and thence to France, some time after the revolution of 1848.
