That man is a true revolutionary, like Washington and Bolivar, of the Americas.

He also forced his people to go back to work in the plantations or in the army under pain of death. The Poles got real lucky that they got classified as honorary blacks, too, because he ordered a genocide of all white people.

The country kept its slaves and the country was involved in a genocide of its native population, basically almost like Washington and America.😊

That and it depends on your belief if he’s justified for the genocide or not as a nice case of… what did that clown say? Ah, yes: “You get what you fucking deserve!”

Does that justify murdering almost every single Frenchman and Frenchwoman?

He did not care if they owned slaves or not. He did not care what their opinion on Tainos was. He killed them all.

Off-topic, but the residents of Hispaniola did a whole lot more than you folks up North. You still have natives. We don't.
