Beaubrun Ardouin

Beaubrun Ardouin also wrote the first Haitian textbook, Géographie de l'île d'Haïti (Geography of the Island of Haiti) and Instruction sur le Jury.

He has been criticized by 20th-century scholars for championing free people of color as the leaders both of the revolution and of post-independence Haiti.

Historian Thomas Madiou, who sought to repair the reputation of the great black heroes of the Haitian revolution, especially Toussaint Louverture, and to portray the revolution as a successful slave uprising instead of as a national independence movement, is often cited as Ardouin's intellectual opponent.

Coriolan died young in 1836, while Céligny ran afoul of Faustin-Élie Soulouque's government and was executed in 1849.

Beaubrun published Céligny's Essais sur l'Histoire d'Haïti (English: Essays on the History of Haiti) in 1865, just before his own death.
