>>According to Trinidadian historian C. L. R. James, the English government, via an agent, informed Dessalines that "the English would trade with San Domingo and accord their protection for its independence only when the last of the whites had fallen under the axe," hoping to use the massacre to "drive a wedge between Haiti and France to break all possibilities of unity."
