Who killed Emperor Jean-Jacques Dessalines, what was the motif?

When you are in Port Au Prince, take a look of where the sun rise and it set. OK, all these lands belong to my great great great great...

father who was a high ranking officer of the revolutionary army. (from port au prince to Cayes-jacmel, that include the all the hill above petionville, where super rich live)As such, you may notice that he was an inside man.
Our Emperor, may his soul rest in peace, was killed by Alexandre Petion and dumped his holy body at Pont Rouge, with knowledge and consent of Henri Christophe, who thought that Petion would recognize him as the next Emperor.

He was wrong.

Petion had his own plan. " Pouvoir Mulatre".

And that was how and why the civil war begun.

After Petion defeated Christophe and he killed himself.

Petion took control of the whole land and declared haiti a Republic with the blue and red flag. By the way, if you think Petion is the founding father of Haiti, your flag is Blue and Red, but if you believe J.J. Dessalines is the founding father of Haiti, your flag cannot be no other, but Red and Black.

Pick yours.

Did I try to answer your question?
