were the 4,000-5,000 remaining French in Haiti in February-April 1804, by
order of Dessalines, founder of a Black Supremacy system (and not a
democracy--Read the 1805 Constitution), then could the USA have be

Do you really want to compare the acts of a justifiably enraged people, who
were torn apart from their homeland, their culture, their freedom to pursue
happiness, humiliated, dehumanized, brutalized, maimed and worked to death,
wreaking vengeance on their tormentors... you want to compare them with
slavers destroying their valuable property??? Hardly seems the same thing at
all to me.
