Rigaud’s revolt ignited uprisings across the colony and assassination attempts on Louverture

Evidence

Rigaud’s partisans were not confined to the south, however. After his victory there were revolts in Le Cap, the Artibonite plain, and, most seriously, in the Môle and the region surrounding Port-de-Paix, where Louverture had faced uprisings consistently during the previous years. The rebels failed to take Port-de-Paix, defended by one of Louverture’s loyal officers, but they did surround it. Louverture had enemies everywhere. Indeed, he was the target of two assassination attempts. In the first, his personal physician was killed, and a bullet passed through Louverture’s hat. — Dubois, Laurent, Avengers of the New World_ The Story of…, 823
