Failed negotiations drove the insurgents back to renewed military assault
Evidence
By mid-January the insurgents under the command of Jean-François and Biassou were attacking again. They captured the district of Ouanaminthe, on the border with Spanish Santo Domingo, and attacked the outskirts of Le Cap. Biassou attacked the hospital outside the town of Le Cap to free his mother, who was a slave there. The sick who were left behind were killed by the attackers. For the time being, there seemed no end in sight to the “exterminating war.” — Dubois, Laurent, Avengers of the New World_ The Story of…, 438
