French Cruelties in St. Domingue (1802)

This is an 1802 account of the Haitian Revolution from an New England newspaper. It details some of the extreme atrocities the French carried out in Saint-Domingue and shows that, in much of the same way as is the case with present day conflicts, the world was watching and did largely nothing to come to the aid of the Haitian (Saint-Domingue) population.
