Raimond demanded returning whites swear never to advocate slavery

Evidence

Raimond supported the policy of allowing exiled planters to return and rebuild their plantations, but he believed it was crucial to prevent any men wanted to reestablish slavery entering the colony. Indeed he argued that any whites who returned to Saint-Domingue should have to take an oath never to “pronounce a single word in favor of slavery.” Any attempt to restore the old system would, even if it was supported by the French government, turn Saint-Domingue into a “mountain of ashes.” — Dubois, Laurent, Avengers of the New World_ The Story of…, 733
