Didn't Haitians elite, moved for a reform of cultural acceptance to the francian crown, to permit poc be French and slowly abolish slavery?
Didn't the revolutionary leaders, who were informed of this reform, killed every Haitian elite before abolishing slavery?

Umm. The first Emperor of Haiti was Jaques The 1st, aka Jean Jacques Dessalines. The Second king was Henri Christophe, and he was king of northern Haiti, when the country was split in two. The third king was Faustin Soulouque. Nice try though

Haiti signed its death warrant with the assassination of Dessalines. He was the greatest African leader throughout the diaspora.
