Alexandre Sabès Pétion (French pronunciation: [al? Ks? ~ d? Sab? S petj? ~]; 2 April 1770 – 29 March 1818) was the first president of the Republic of Haiti from 1807 until his death in 1818. One of Haiti’s founding fathers, Pétion belonged to the revolutionary quartet that also includes Toussaint Louverture, Jean-Jacques Dessalines, and his later rival Henri Christophe. Regarded as an excellent artilleryman in his early adulthood, [3] Pétion would distinguish himself as an esteemed military commander with experience leading both French and Haitian troops.
