The 1804 Haiti massacre was carried out against the French population and French Creoles (or Franco-Haitians) remaining in Haiti following the Haitian Revolution, by soldiers, mostly former slaves, under orders from Jean-Jacques Dessalines.

He had decreed that all suspected of conspiring in the acts of the expelled army should be put to death. From early January 1804 until 22 April 1804, squads of soldiers moved from house to house throughout Haiti, torturing and killing entire families. Between 3,000 to 5,000 people were killed.

The genocide ended around the 21st of April 1804. It's been more than 200 years, but no genocide should be forgotten. * +

The genocide did ensure slaves were freed and it did liberate Haitians from white oppression, but I don't think the means really justify the end. * +

In case you are not aware, that's when the French Revolution finally hit Haiti. * +

I heard Haiti was still paying reparations to the French for the genocide until very recently. * +
