Coriolan Ardouin
Coriolan Ardouin (11 December 1812 – 12 July 1835) was a Haitian romantic poet. Ardouin left only one work before his early death: a compilation of poems entitled ''Reliques d'un Poète Haïtien'' (''Relics of a Haitian Poet''), published posthumously in 1837. Ardouin lived a life of tragedy. As he was born, his two-year-old brother lay dying in another room. He was orphaned at age 15 and subsequently lost his older sister as well. His wife died after five months of marriage and his own death followed soon after. A legend tells that a black butterfly landed on Ardouin's cradle at his birth, a bad omen signaling the miseries to come. Coriolan Ardouin's brothers, Beaubrun and Céligny, were well known as historians and politicians. The three Ardouin brothers, along with the Nau brothers, Emile and Ignace, were members of the literary society "The School of 1836 ''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentione ...

Beaubrun Ardouin
Alexis Beaubrun Ardouin (1796–1865) was a Haitian historian and politician. He wrote the eleven-volume ''Etudes sur l'Histoire d'Haïti'' (''Studies on the History of Haiti''), published in the 1850s and 60s. His ''Etudes'' have served as a valuable resource for later historians. Beaubrun Ardouin also wrote the first Haitian textbook, ''Géographie de l'Ile d'Haïti'' (''Geography of the Island of Haiti'') and ''Instruction sur le Jury''. Ardouin's historical writing attempted to put the Haitian Revolution in the context of other nationalist revolutions in the Americas. He had Euro-African ancestry and his family was free before the revolution. 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 ...

The School Of 1836
''The'' () is a grammatical article in English, denoting persons or things that are already or about to be mentioned, under discussion, implied or otherwise presumed familiar to listeners, readers, or speakers. It is the definite article in English. ''The'' is the most frequently used word in the English language; studies and analyses of texts have found it to account for seven percent of all printed English-language words. It is derived from gendered articles in Old English which combined in Middle English and now has a single form used with nouns of any gender. The word can be used with both singular and plural nouns, and with a noun that starts with any letter. This is different from many other languages, which have different forms of the definite article for different genders or numbers. Pronunciation In most dialects, "the" is pronounced as (with the voiced dental fricative followed by a schwa) when followed by a consonant sound, and as (homophone of the archaic pron ...

People From Port-au-Prince
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of per ...
