I mean, these radical petite Blancs thought that they were the oppressed people in San Domingo because they couldn't afford to own slaves. And they thought if they could become independent from France, they could take power from the people of privilege and institute a democracy, where everyone had a voice, except for the 95% of people who weren't white. And in 1791, these radical petite Blancs seized the city of Port-au-Prince. You'll remember that by 1791, France was at war with most of Europe. And just like with the Seven Years' War, the wars of revolutionary France played out in the colonies as well as at home. So the French government sent troops to San Domingo. Meanwhile, urges toward liberty, fraternity, and equality were only growing in France, and it didn't seem very equitable to grant citizenship based solely on race.
