for French Version]
Petion, a freeborn mulatto, Rigaud's lieutenant during the civil war of the South, came back from France to fight in Lecler’s army and Dessalines the black slave who became Toussaints right arm were two men who undoubtedly respected each other but had remained apart until the disarmament.
Leclerc's policy brought them together in the same thought: the love of freedom, the love of independence. Before October 13, 1802 during a meeting in Haut du Cap Petion and Dessalines had established the outline of their war plan against the French. They agreed that Dessalines would be the general of the rebels.
He was chosen because of seniority, his indomitable energy and the fear that he inspired in the natives, Christophe, Romain, Brave, Yayou, Capois approved the agreement and later, Geffrard, Cange Ferou.

Le mulatre Petion, ne libre, lieutenant de Rigaud pendant la guerre civile du Sud, revenu en France pour combattre dans l'armee de Leclerc, et le noir Dessalines, ne esclave, devenu le bras droit de Toussaint, etaient deux hommes qui s'estimaient, sans doute, mais que rien n'avait rapproches jusqu'au desarmement general.
La politique de Leclerc les unit dans la meme pensee: l'amour de la liberte, l'amour de l'independance. Anterieurementau 13 Octobre 1802, dans une entrevue au Haut du Cap, Petion et Derssalines avaient arrete les grandes lignes de leur plan de guerre contre les Francais. Ils avaient convenu que Dessalines serait le general en chef des insurges.
Ce choix etait motive par l'anciennete de son grade, son energie indomptable, et la crainte qu'il inspirait a tous les indigenes. Christophe, Romain, Brave, Yayou, Capois adhererent successivement a l'entente, et plus tard, Geffrard, Cange Ferou.
