The Last Bloody Episode in the History of Haiti

Between three and five thousand white french were executed in just about eight weeks. By the summer of 18 o four, the white population of independent haiti was essentially zero. This had all started with the old big whites agitating for home rule and free trade to benefit a small clique of wealthy white planters and merchants. And now the whites have not just lost everything, there aren't even any whites left to have anything in terms of what had been wrought by the revolution. The sad truth is that it was mainly death and destruction.
