En avril de la même année, ils ont rencontré et battu une armée gouvernementale, mais peu après, leur avance sur la capitale haïtienne a été contrôlée dans la ville d’Aquin. Alors que le général Acaau marchait contre Port-au-Prince dans le sud, une révolte armée avait commencé dans le nord, alimentée par les opposants au gouvernement de Hérard. Face à cette crise, Hérard quitte la présidence le 3 mai 1844. Il est remplacé par le président Philippe Guerrier.

As President of Haiti, he was intended to be a figurehead for the mulatto ruling class. Pierrot’s most pressing duty as the new president was to check the incursions of the Dominicans, who were harassing the Haitian troops along the borders. Dominican boats were also making depredations on Haiti’s coasts. President Pierrot decided to open a campaign against the Dominicans, whom he considered merely as insurgents. Haitians, however, were not inclined to go to war with their neighbors, and were unwilling to support the President’s views.

Furthermore, Pierrot had displeased the army by conferring military rank on the leaders of the peasants of the Sud department and on many of their followers. In addition, the inhabitants of the towns of this department felt uneasy regarding the tendencies of Pierrot, who had appointed Jean-Jacques Acaau, the former terrorist of Cayes, as Commandant of the Anse-à-Veau Arrondissement. Fearing a peasant revolt, the townsmen decided to divest Pierrot of his office.
