Haiti’s First King And President, King Henri Was From An Igbo Descent by BuchiPrinzy: 9:49am On Sep 30, 2020 |
Henri I, whose name was Henri Christophe, was born on the 6th of October 1767. King Henri was a free-born but was sold off as a teen. He was believed to be of Igbo descent in West Africa and a former slave of Bambara ethnicity. Henri Christophe arrived Haiti – a French colony, formerly known as Saint Domingue, where he worked as a slave, engaging in numerous jobs like making billiards, bricklayer, he was also a sailor, and equally a bartender. Henri worked so hard that he had to join the few Black slaves that bought their freedom. He was also skilled in the military field, considering that he was among those selected by the French to fight at the Siege of Savannah (State of Georgia) in 1780. An account reported that he worked as a bartender at Couronne and later married his master’s daughter. However, another statement contradicted that Henri married a French naval officer’s daughter after paying off for his freedom.
