Fuck you. Quit running apologetics for genocide. Dessalines did not wait to check if the people he was having raped and murdered played any role in the institution of slavery.
Still I'm not gonna blame the oppressed for their overboiling anger. The blame should be placed squarely at the feet of the slavers and the french for their betrayal of Toussaint which no doubt eroded any notion of trust. The slavers created this situation. A lot of undereducated people that experienced nothing but unjust violence for all their life repaying in kind is not on the same scale as, say the armenian genocide. Or the palestinian genocide. Or really any genocide, which is largely characterised by a settler society stealing the land and possessions of indigenous people.
