Answer: B. He ended the mass execution of white Haitians by former slaves and affranchis.

Step-by-step explanation:

Toussaint Louverture led thousands of slaves to freedom through the slave revolt in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (Haiti). By regaining control of the entire island, the military ruler changed the colony from a free society to a country run by former slaves. Among all the rulers who attempted to make the island into a federal state, he was the only one to succeed.
