Louverture blamed the revolt on parental negligence and irreligion

Evidence

Louverture did not content himself with fulminating against the departed Moïse. He struck out at seemingly the entire population he was governing. He lashed out against the men “without religion” who had caused disorders in the colony. He blamed such disorders on bad parenting, the “negligence with which fathers and mothers raise their children, shirking religion, obedience, and love of work and instead passing on a disdain for cultivation.” Since “bad impressions are difficult to get rid of,” the result was the proliferation of “bad citizens, vagabonds, and thieves.” — Dubois, Laurent, Avengers of the New World_ The Story of…, 880
