Fun tid bit about Haiti. Toussaint Louverture was absolutely willing to collaborate with the French Republic, he only wanted freedom and equality in the law for the ex-slaves. But then Napoleon took power, tricked Louverture into coming to some parley, shipped him to France and murdered him

His follower Dessalines went on killing most white people on the Island and declare independence as a consequence of Napoleon's betrayal.

Moral of the story: kill the fucking colonizer before he inevitably betrays you.
