Dessaline was very mean although he meant well

Dessaline devised stringent ways to get the population to do commercial farming for very small wages.

After they worked for decades for free. I do not blame the peasants for refusing to work under excessively severe conditions.

They needed to rest for a while.

If you are truly free then you have a right to do whatever you wish with your time. Dispose of your labor however you see fit. Why should you be coerce by your own kind to labor for what they need instead of what you need. Dessaline was a great liberator, he deserve credit for his sacrifices, he deserves his place in history, but I am weary every time Haitians invoke his name because he is tainted with blood.
