Jean-Charles Tiby raised the standard of revolt at Camp-Perin, and was arrested and shot after Laplume’s negotiation.

Haitian

First came Jean-Charles Tiby, a Black man devoted to Rigaud because he knew that general’s love of liberty, who, on 3 brumaire, Year IX (25 October 1800), raised the standard of revolt at Camp-Perin. Laplume marched at the head of the 11th and 13th demi-brigades. He opened a negotiation with Tiby, promised him, in Toussaint’s name, an end to the frightful executions that had just stirred that generous heart; he even obtained by his language the return of the insurgents to their habitual order. But Laplume had no more good faith than his general: Tiby was arrested and shot.
