This article isn't about the horrors of slavery. It's about economic history. It makes reference to slavery in that context without discussing it in detail. A better analogy would be an article about why Israel is an economic success mentioning the concentration camps from Nazi Germany (without much detail) and then not mentioning the gulags of the Soviet Union.
Also not mentioned in this article:
- the genocide of the native Americans that allowed Haiti to be a thing in the first place
- the continuing oppression of women at the time
- the oppression of LGBT+ that was a constant reality of society in a Catholic country
And yet these comments seem to only care about calling out oppression that happened a continent away. Slavery isn't even really that big of an piece of the article. The majority of the article is about what happened after slavery ended in the 1790s.
