Well they have a lot in common with India then.
It is complicated for sure.
Still, the Haitian revolt against France resulted in financial collapse for France under Napoleon. This lead to the French practically begging the nascent United States to effect the Louisiana Purchase.
Haiti was the first country in this hemisphere to outlaw slavery and it was the 2nd Republic ever established in North America. Haiti also eliminated slavery in the Dominican Republic.
Things certainly deteriorated from there and then. Haiti is the poorest nation in America and it has long been a disaster. Still, without Haiti, the United States might be about 1/3 the geographical size that it has become.
