Answer 1

A Haitian history question! Will wonders never cease? Look to HistoryWiz.com for a good capsule on this.

A Cacique is equivalent to a paramount chief, a chief of chiefs, a minor king in the Caribbean region. He makes policy concerning his people and their territory. Managing war and peace. Imposing legal decisions,re water, food and resources. Guarding cultural traditions.

A monarch is a king of a nation state. In the usual way that we use the term. He does all of the things done by a Cacique only on a much grander scale. They both stand at the head of a social pyramid

Toussaint L'Overture (this is an honorific it means the one who finds an opening.) Breda was eventually only defeated by the treachery of Napoleon. Toussaint's slave army defeated in their turn the French, the Spanish and the English armies sent to occupy Ste. Domingue, to their national benefit, and to the benifit of the planters, (white, mullatto, and black) while the French Revolution caused distractions at home.
