And also:



What did such mean for the Colony of Louisiana? Could there be some series of events which in the U.S. which mirrored these abolitions in France? Isn't it interesting that slavery was "reinstated" in 1802..just before 1803 (the Louisiana Purchase)?

The Haitian Rebellion was very costly to France. That's the reason why the Louisiana Purchase was sold to the US.

Ultimately, France lost. The Haitian Rebellion is the ONLY slave revolt successful in deposing an established government in 6000 years of human history.
