The Haitian Declaration of Independence, pg. 188

This chapter is the Haitian Declaration of Independence. It was written overnight by an angry Haitian who had a serious grudge against the French. This declaration is full of hate and spite for the French which many may consider inappropriate. Compared to other declarations this one looks very uncivilized. However, this document is in fact honest; it has no hidden motives. However, this document was written by one man, so some majority opinions may have been excluded. The declaration says that the Haitian people should not want to be like the murdering French, in reference to the bloody French Revolution. The declaration says that Haiti and France are different by climate and distance apart and that they are not meant to be together. However, the criticism that the French are murdering people and that the Haitians are not like them seems hypocritical because he also says that the Haitians should make the French fear Haiti by killing the French still in Haiti and to exterminate them from influencing Haiti. This is exactly what the French did in their revolution, so Haiti was still influenced some by France.
