>> The reason for that was the genocide carried out against non-black Haitians.

That seems over the top to call a slave revolt genocide against the opressing group.

They systematically murdered every last white person in Haiti - whether they were involved with the French or not. Women and children included.

It was very literally genocide. There's no other word for it.
