Jean-Louis Pierrot

Prince Jean-Louis Michel Paul Pierrot, Baron of Haïti (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ lwi miʃɛl pɔl pjɛʁo]; 19 December 1761 – 18 February 1857) was a career officer general in the Haitian Army who also served as President of Haiti from 16 April 1845 to 1 March 1846.

[3] Pierrot was elected president of Haiti by the Council of State on 16 April 1845, the day after the death of Philippe Guerrier.

[citation needed] Pierrot's most pressing duty as the new president was to check the incursions of the Dominicans, who were harassing the Haitian troops along the borders.

[1] In addition, the inhabitants of the towns of this department felt uneasy regarding the tendencies of Pierrot, who had appointed Jean-Jacques Acaau, the radical of Cayes, as Commandant of the Anse-à-Veau Arrondissement.

[1] On that same day, Pierrot resigned and retired to his plantation called Camp-Louise, where he led a quiet and peaceful life.
