True enough. Yet, as the article points out, Haiti suffered from financial exploitation due to France’s extortionate indemnity and loan terms, which the world’s powers supported and helped enforce. The result was that Haitian governments had to devote themselves to heavy taxation for the benefit of foreign bondholders instead of for the benefit and development of her own people.

Which happened because they killed all the white people. Haiti is in our sphere and we would have cracked down more if the slaughter didn’t happen. The other powers did not support Haiti either because of it. It was a self-inflicted wound and France was getting payback for the murders also, since most were French.

There are several books about this if you check. The Haitians sealed their fate on day one.
