A viewer challenges celebratory treatments of Napoleon by directing attention to French violence and racial policy in Haiti, including the restoration of slavery and atrocities described in the comment. This material was omitted from an episode about invading Britain because it did not bear directly on the operational question, not because Napoleon was considered benign. The discussion thus separates a narrow episode's scope from a complete moral or political assessment of its principal actor. It also rejects racial hierarchy and warns that treating other people as less deserving of respect can enable escalating abuse. This is best used as a watch point about historical framing: absence from one argument is not denial of the wider history.
