Government and the economy are just people, they're not actually a 'thing'. If you kill off the people who have experience running the economy, government, education system (I know, Haiti's was likely tiny and only for the ruling class and likely consisted of a few private tutors), then there's no one to teach the next generation and you have no government or economy.
Instead of killing off the slavers, pressing them into forced restitution as advisors and educators would have been better for Haitians, more satisfying, and just.
Why kill the governor who knows not only how to builds roads but where and when they should be built, and instead force him to continue doing his job, only his payment is now a stay of execution?
