Abstract
In 1802, the deadliest recorded epidemic of yellow fever struck a French expeditionary force, permanently destroying Napoleon Bonaparte’s ambition to re-conquer Haiti and secure a North American empire. Toussaint L’Ouverture, Haitian revolutionary, effectively used his medical experience to spread this disease among French troops.
