He lost to someone who clearly did not share his ideology, the ideology that the Jacobin took it's name from.
I find much of the rest of your post strange, but it's already getting way off topic.
- LegitShady 3y agoDessalines was L'Ouverture's principle lieutenant and general. It wasn't until after the Battle of Crete-a-Pierrot, where Dessalines forces kicked the french out of fort Crete-a-Pierrot, then massacred the french civilians, and then themselves were forced out of the fort due to heavy losses on Leclerc's counterattack, that Dessalines switched alliegences. Dessalines than switched sides which led to the surrender of L'Ouverture. The massacre of french civilians there still happened under L'Ouverture. He didn't have a different ideology, he was literally L'Ouverture's primary supporter and ally, until defeated militarily.
