Napoleon brought authoritarian personal rule which has been viewed as military dictatorship. Saint Domingue- a French colony on the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. In 1791, the slaves and some free people of color of Saint-Domingue began rebellion against French authority. There were ten black people for every white one. François Dominique Toussaint-Louverture  led the revolution against the slave system established on the island and was successful, although this alienated the island's dominant slave-holding class . When Napoleon controlled the island he promised the island would be subject to special laws= confirming Toussaint’s position and promising to maintain abolition.

Simon Bolivar: Since it is not possible for us to select the most perfect and complete form of government, let us avoid falling into demagogic anarchy or monocratic tyranny. These opposite extremes would only wreck us on similar reefs of misfortune and dishonor; hence, we must seek a mean between them. I say: Do not adopt the best system of government, but the one which is most likely to succeed. (Richard W. Slatta, Simon Bolivar’s Quest for Glory [Texas A and M University Press, 2003].)
