Did you know what the French do to Guadeloupe ? They killed more than the half of all Slaves population in Guadeloupe and put slavery (After the french revolution slavery was abolished). They were doing the same thing at Haiti and it was the start of Haitian Revolution. I repeat it again, Dessalines was not a monster. In the first Haitian constitution of 1805 he create the freedom choice of religion ( like today in most country...) All citizens of Haiti, regardless of skin color, to be known as "Black" – including the Poles and Germans .

"12. No whiteman of whatever nation he may be, shall put his foot on this territory with the title of master or proprietor, neither shall he in future acquire any property therein.

13. The preceding article cannot in the smallest degree affect white woman who have been naturalized Haytians by Government, nor does it extend to children already born, or that may be born of the said women. The Germans and Polanders naturalized by government are also comprized (sic) in the dispositions of the present article. "

Polish Legion insert.....
GIZMO Poland's Carribean tragedy: A study of Polish legions in the Haitian war of independence 1802-1803 By: Jon Pachonski and Reuel K. Wilson REVIEWED BY BOB CORBETT: Heres an excerpt of this article, Thus when i ran across Pachonski's and Wilsons book POLAND'S CARIBBEAN TRAGEDY, i was thrilled to have a chance to get the story from the source as it were, well is that sort of slant is why one goes to this book it will be a huge disappointment. First of all one will have to be patient since they do adress this Old Haitian Myth but not until the second last chapter pages 307-317 is this tale discussed, and then for only ten pages at that. In short the story of the Poles as friends of Haiti and as settlers is Greatly Exaggerated to understate the case. However Pachonski and Wilson do adress the interesting question of how the myth grew, and they attribute it in great measure of being a creation of Jean Jacques Dessalines himself. On Pachonski and Wilson's view Dessaline was much taken by the fact that the Poles tended to treat the Haitians better than other Europeans and to have less regard for the French, the Poles did not want to be in Saint Domingue. With Dessaline's prodding, the Haitians tended to treat the poles much better when they captured them. On one Poles account this meant, that they killed them straight off rather then torturing them as they did the French. In sum there were about 5,200 Poles sent to Saint Domingue by Napoleon. More then 4,000 died primarily of yellow fever, some returned to France. Some were subsumed by the British colonial army, and only about 400 remained in Haiti and even 160 of those received permission from Dessalines in 1806 to return to France and even where sent there at Haiti's expense. Thus only 240 Poles actually remained and became Haitian citizens. Likewise the stories of Poles deserting the French for the Haitian cause are grossly exaggerated with only 120 to 150 Poles ever going to the Haitian cause and those are more likely to have done so, to save their own lives than as a matter of principle. http://www.websteruniv.edu/~corbetre/haiti/bookreviews/pachonski.htm
