Jacques Vincent Ogé

Jacques Vincent Ogé, (c. 1755-91), was a Haitian insurgent, born at Dondon a free man, but a mulatto, served for several years in one of the German armies, and in 1791 was sent to the Constituent Assembly as a representative of Haiti. After he returned to Haiti, he petitioned the government in Haiti to free the slaves there, but he was unsuccessful.

In the autumn of 1791, he and his group of organized and armed insurgents won a few battles, were defeated, and Ogé surrendered after receiving guarantees of his safety. French Governor Count de Blanchelande flagrantly broke his word; Ogé was tried and executed.
