Jean-Baptiste Perrier

Goman, Nicolas Regnier, and Gilles Bénech were ex-slave leaders of the Platons insurrections of 1792–93. Subsequently, Goman became a company captain in the Third Regiment of the legion, though Goman proved to be a chronic deserter. After the civil war, Goman returned to his former master's plantation, again becoming a maroon after the French arrival. He met Jean Panier, and became the leader of his band after Panier's death, joining with Benech and Regnier still later. In 1803, Goman and Regnier had devised a plan of attack against Tiburon, assisted by plantation workers, who had deserted in large numbers, joining the insurrection. They were aided by mulatto officers of the French army.^[4]

From 1807 to 1819, Goman led an autonomous farmers' republic that was situated in the southwest.^[5] The peasant insurrection was financed by Henri Christophe and he had kept up a Kongo tradition with his group of maroons until 1820.^[6][7] At the height of the insurrection, Goman was essentially running a separate independent government from Haiti's central government.^[8] Goman was pursued by Gens. Jérôme Maximilien Borgella and Lys for nine months before his ultimate defeat in 1820.^[1][8]
