He also forced his people to go back to work in the plantations or in the army under pain of death. The Poles got real lucky that they got classified as honorary blacks, too, because he ordered a genocide of all white people.

The country kept its slaves and the country was involved in a genocide of its native population, basically almost like Washington and America.😊

Does that justify murdering almost every single Frenchman and Frenchwoman?

He did not care if they owned slaves or not. He did not care what their opinion on Tainos was. He killed them all.
