What went wrong?
The French unironically. Had the French literally just been nicer, they would've become a somewhat functional mulatto latinx country like the dominicans next door.

>>221843884>Dessalines enforced a harsh regimen of plantation labor, described by the historian Michel-Rolph Trouillot as caporalisme agraire (agrarian militarism). Like Louverture before him, Dessalines demanded that all blacks work either as soldiers to defend the nation or as laborers on the plantations, in order to continue production of the raise the cash crops that had been foundation of the colonial economy. His forces were strict in enforcing this policy, to the extent that some blacks felt as if they were again enslaved. Dessalines also believed in the tight regulation of foreign trade, encouraging merchants from Britain and the United States rather than France. Dessalines needed literate and educated officials and managers for his administration, so most of those positions went to the light-skinned elite gens de couleur libres who had been formally educated by their white plantion owner families.Grim
