    Thanks for the accurate details. I'll file away the factoid that Haiti paid the equivalent of $21 Billion USD (2004 value) for doing a slave revolt, and this payment continued well after slavery had been made illegal in all the debt-holding nations.

      There's one more weird part I forgot to mention. France got kicked out of Haiti and definitively lost the war then they came back 20 years later to demand reparations for the war that they lost. War reparations are normally paid by the loser to the winner but I guess things are different when you're a Great Power.
