Somewhere around 2,500 whites were systematically executed, including the ones who had supported the revolution. Basically all of the French non-settlers and all of the plantation owners were killed. While some women were dragged onto the steps of the capital building and publicly had their throats cut, most of the women were forcibly married to black men. The dictator of Haiti then declared the country to be "black" in the constitution.
IIRC, the few whites men to survive were whites that were specifically in his political sphere (who were ordered to leave), and something like a hundred or so Prussian soldiers (Hessian effectively), that had assisted in the coup, and were also allowed to leave.
This act of barbarism is largely responsible for the state of near hysterical paranoia the American south began living in as a result, and was a major cause of many of it's racial laws in the Antebellum period. As with Nat Turner, there was worse blowback from these actions than anything good they may have theoretically caused. Certainly with Haiti, we can see that zero good came from it.
I will remind you that Kamalla Harris's family is part of the plantation-owning, slave owning, forcibly integrated population of Haiti

I thought her family owned slaves in Jamaica. But I’ve heard about that history. I can see how that would have a chain reaction in the south.
I thought it was Hati... I could be wrong.
