And the best way to maximize profits? Why, to reintroduce slavery, of course. That's certainly what the former slaves thought was the plan, when in 1802, a French expedition commanded by Napoleon's brother-in-law, Charles Victor Emmanuel I-have-too-many-names Leclerc, showed up in San Domingo. This started the second phase of the Haitian Revolution, the fight for independence. So Leclerc eventually had Louverture arrested and shipped to France, where he died in prison in 1803, but this itself did not spark an uprising against the French, because Louverture wasn't actually that popular, largely because he wanted most blacks on the island to continue to grow sugar. Instead, the former slaves only started fighting when Leclerc tried to take away their guns, thus beginning a guerrilla war that the French, despite their superior training and weapons, had absolutely no chance of winning. Although the French were exceedingly cruel, executing women as well as men and importing man-eating dogs from Cuba, the Haitians had the best ally of all, disease.
