He fought many battles from France to Egypt & was eventually imprisoned and placed in a dungeon. He was released in 1801 and fathered one of the greatest novel writers of our time.

Thomas was sent to France by his French father who was nobility. His mother was a slave. In France slavery was abolished and so he was able to be a free man and get a great education. His father helped him get into the military and it took him no time to fly through the ranks and eventually become one of the most decorated African soldiers in history.
