No social change could be tolerated. L'Ouverture's leadership certainly took a plume out of the hat of Napoleon's brother-in-law Charles Leclerc who had Bonaparte's agency in Haiti.
Charles Leclerc was the brother-in-law of Napoleon. Leclerc's wife was a younger sister of Napoleon. She still looked up to the more elder of the siblings in Napoleon and the older members of the family. The family did however insist on worthy suitors for its unwed members because of their very recent status change. Not exactly a quirk of the nouveau riche though to look for very attractive mates with respect to titles, holdings and position whenever their was a vacancy in the family tree.
