The country kept its slaves and the country was involved in a genocide of its native population, basically almost like Washington and America.😊

Does that justify murdering almost every single Frenchman and Frenchwoman?

He did not care if they owned slaves or not. He did not care what their opinion on Tainos was. He killed them all.
