Episode 4 of 5

Toussaint makes challenging reforms across society before he approves his own nomination to become Governor of the Colony and, in a canny legal move, assumes full authority.

Toussaint's sweeping reforms of both public and private activity help to bring about huge rises in productivity and exports, but his authoritative leadership style inspires rebellions, led by his nephew Moyse.

Toussaint shows no mercy to the rebels and verbally attacks most groups in society, outlining their shortcomings. Will this combination of force and authoritarianism be sufficient to strengthen and protect the colony?
