Dear Napoleon and all of France, we are writing to you because of the oppression of slaves in the colony of Saint Domingue. Hundreds of slaves spend days working in the fields, working as household servants, boilermen, and slave drivers. Many often die from the endless injuries, unsanitary infections, and deadly tropical diseases that come with the demanding labor. We will no longer put up with your horrible and unacceptable treatment of the slaves and affranchis who deserve much more. We will, at all costs, defend our land and our rights, which you have, for so long kept from us.

The wrongs that have been done to us cannot be overridden by the sweetness of the sugar that we grow. It has made us almost twice as bitter as the coffee we are forced to care for. Even though there are many poor whites among us, both groups, rich and poor, continually deny us citizenship. In addition to this denial for equality, they treat us like no more than animals, and care for us less than their own dogs. Adding insult to injury, we outnumber your people 12 to 1, however, they have forced us to do their own work for them, while we get no benefits for dealing with the inhuman work conditions we get forced into.

As I have said before, we will no longer hide in the shadows and complete the dirty work you European colonists have forced upon us. We are sick of being treated like animals that live in your waste and filth. While we only aspire to be economically and socially prosperous, you Europeans think of yourselves so highly and look down on us. This relationship cannot work out at this point. All that we ask for is independence, and we will do anything to free ourselves from your filthy grasp. We will take up arms against you and force you out of this country as it is rightfully ours. We will give back the plantations to the people, and they will be able to profit from what they grow. We will continue to trade with the merchants in the free states who treat us as actual human beings, unlike you, who treats us no better than the trash on the roads. We will annihilate all who stand in our way on our quest to freedom.

Please do not contact us again you filthy animal

It has been a few months since the breakup, and things aren't looking good here. We no longer produce sugar and coffee, which means that we have to import it from other countries, and I have lost hope in retaining the other French territories in the United States. As a result of losing Haiti, I am afraid that I cannot put down the other territories if they rebel as well. Due to this, I have decided to sell them to the United States to make a small profit for the country. Hopefully this will allow France to recover from the blow that the Haitians struck upon us.
