>intent on the idea that you should hold an entire class at gunpoint to do slave labour
When did this happen? Serfdom was nothing like slavery proper, and slavery isn't even a bad thing.
>The French slave owners held an entire people in bondage through force that they knew would
The Negro slaves in Saint-Domingue had better living conditions under slavery than they had in either Africa, or Haiti post-revolution. The idea that slaves in Saint-Domingue were mistreated is a myth, just like the idea that North American slaves were. If they were actually being mistreated, their population wouldn't have exploded like it did. They revolted due to resentment. They felt envious that their masters had more wealth than they did.
By revolting against their masters and rejecting the paternalistic, mutually beneficial slave-master relationship which gave them, frankly, undeservedly high living standards, they only became slaves without masters. The brutality which the former negro slaves treated the French with, including the lower class ones, just goes to show how undeserving they were of their freedom. Describing the condition they attained as "freedom" isn't even correct, they are still slaves to their own animalistic impulses, slaves to this uncaring reality which they are incapable of navigating without guidance.
Saint-Domingue went from being the pearl of the Antilles, to being a shithole on par with every other country ruled over by Africans, and the French revolution and its consequences has ensured that this fate will eventually reach France itself.
It's funny that you believe children under the guardianship of their parents deserve what their parents get them into, yet you don't apply this principle to slaves. The French revolution is totally without justification.
