Title:: XVI. Haiti

Collection:: Economics Books

XVI HAITI Much of the history of Haiti is associated with its neighbor, Santo Domingo, and need not be again told. After the French had es tablished their government in this island they imported negroes from Africa as slaves. These revolted in 1791 and in 1801 declared their independence, finally expelling the French in 1804. This land has been the scene of much bloodshed and lacks stability in its government, as it always will until taken under the control of some strong power. Its geography and climatic conditions are the same as those of Santo Domingo, its area of 10,200 square miles supporting a popula tion estimated at 2,000,000, French or a “patois” being the language spoken. Perhaps 95 per cent, of its inhabitants are negroes, or have negro blood. The country is backward. 182
