Are you sure that ideology was the single only difference between Haiti and the US South?
In fact, the two were very different; Haiti was a slave colony far away from the mainland, unlike the Southern US. Even in Virginia, the state with the most slaves in 1800, they were never even 50% of the population. In Haiti, slaves outnumbered whites 10:1. And that mainland was turned into itself, and unable to provide decent governance or even military forces to keep them in line.
The massacre came about after the Haitian revolution, when ex-slaves took control. This never happened, and could never happen, in the US.
