did the "Black Jacobin" revolutionaires in Haiti garner any support or sympathy within France during the Haitian Revolution?
I'm always surprised by the lack of support among many of the Revolutionaries. Especially those usually praised as abolitionists. Like Olympe de Gouges, for example:
It is to you, slaves, men of color, that I speak now; I have perhaps incontestable rights to blame your ferocity: cruel, when you imitate your tyrants, you justify them. Most of your masters were human and well-willing, and in your blind rage you did not distinguish innocent victims from your persecutors. Men were not born for chains, but you prove their necessity.
This is from the foreword to the second edition of her play L'Esclavage des Noirs, usually seen as an anti-slavery text. As anti-slavery propaganda was seen as having caused the revolution in Haiti, she had a new edition printed with a foreword clarifying her intentions.
[The colonists] are unhappy, I sympathize with them, I respect their deplorable fate; I won't even let myself remind them of their inhumanity: I will only permit myself to cite to them all that I have written to conserve their property and their dearest interests: this drama is the proof.
And then there's Jacques-Pierre Brissot, who is also often regarded as an abolitionist:
I want the lot of the blacks to be made better, but not at the price of the blood of my brothers. I would be unworthy of liberty, if I had counseled a single negro to rise up against his master. It is odious that men who know my morals, like MM. Péthion, Robespierre, Grégoire, Clavière, Condorcet, are the authors of such calumnies.
Both Brissot and de Gouges show how little they wanted to be associated with the revolution, and accusations of having inspired it were thrown around as a political weapon, which shows how unfavorably it was regarded. The reason for that is partly the negative reaction to the violence used by the revolutionaries in the colonies, which is a bit hypocritical if you look at the violence that made the French Revolution possible. Another reason is the fear of losing colonies, and the economical damage that would do to France.
