Countries are Forged in Fire, but Freedom is Sealed in Blood!

Melee: Louverture. Both weapons are roughly the same design and use: you slash down and hard from atop a horse, or I suppose you could bat aside a bayonet or two to land a quick slice. However, I'm going to give this to Louverture due to the further reach of his blade, not to mention it was made specifically for fighting.

Musket: Washington. I'm going to give this to the Brown Bess for several reasons. One: Well, yes the bullet is bigger... Two: However, the Brown Bess is what help carve out the British Empire (trumping the Charleville which was used by their French Rivals). However, we aren't talking about British or French Regulars here. This still goes to Washington due to also the competence of the soldiers using the weapons.

Rifle: Tie. Now, here is something interesting. Judging by the country that formerly occupied Haiti, this weapon could be of French, British, or Spanish lineage. The French and Spanish rifles are vague, so I'm going to go off the knowledge of the British Baker; as such, it is probably a weapon made by 'factories' (quotations). However, each Kentucky Rifle was basically almost hand-crafted to each buyers standards to be used to hunt game such as deer and even squirrel, giving it the accuracty advantage vs. the various's bullet size.

X-Factors: Washington. While both of these men are brilliant tacticians, both of these men suffered from the problems that comes with rebellion: ammo and guns are horribly lacking. Both of these men also made absolutely horrible tactical decisions in their time as well. As such, my frank opinion gives Washington the advantage in Leadership and Training. While kinda a horrid decision maker during the French & Indian War (it's all Colonel Braddock's fault), it gave Washington valuable experience for leading an army of soldiers during the early days of the Revolution, while I believe that Toussaint had to learn on the fly. As for Training, the same goes.

Deadliest Warrior: George Washington!!!! Washington get's this battle. While he doesn't clinch many weapons factors, I give this to Washington for all the Soldiering experience he is carrying with him. Plus, I do believe that Continental Army Regulars may have a slight advantage over the Slave Army that Toussaint put together.
