Genocide was committed on both sides, and from a purely numerical standpoint the Haitian slaves had it worse. Why shouldn't France have been forced to pay back Haiti for the enslavement and genocide that it committed? Or should we just forget about the Vicomte de Rochambeau and his attack dogs?

"Convinced that the crisis in Hispaniola could only be resolved by mass murder, Rochambeau undertook to massacre much of the non-white civilian and military population. Under his direction, the French imported hundreds of attack dogs from Cuba, which were used both in counterinsurgency operations and in grotesque public spectacles in which unfortunate prisoners and servants were eaten alive. Rochambeau also displayed exceptional cruelty in a number of other ways, such as massacring enemy troops after they had surrendered to his forces, burning men and women alive, and executing many soldiers and civilians by torture and drowning."
