Jean-Nicolas Nissage Saget
Jean-Nicolas Nissage Saget (French pronunciation: [ʒɑ̃ nikɔla nisaʒ saʒɛ]; September 20, 1810 – April 7, 1880) succeeded Sylvain Salnave as President of Haiti in 1869. Coming into power by coup, Saget was the first Haitian president to serve out his term of office (1869–1874) and retire voluntarily, although his retirement led to a renewal of the political turmoil between blacks and the country's mulatto elites. He died in 1880.
