&#65533;French as well as American citizens have found clever strategies to amass fortunes on the back of Haiti&#65533;s &#65533; debt &#65533;&#65533;
In 1825 Haiti was forced to borrow 24 million francs from private French banks to begin paying off the crippling indemnity debt&#65533;
<span style="font-weight: bold">These indemnity payments caused continual financial emergencies and political upheavals&#65533;
Irregardless, Haiti always made the indemnity payments (completed in 1883), and following those, the bank loan payments, on time. The 1915 intervention in Haiti by the Marines on behalf of U.S. financial interests changed all of that, however&#65533;
&#65533; Some of the white descendants of the former plantation owners, who now live New Orleans, still have the indemnity coupons issued by France. So in fact, at least part of the reparations paid by Haiti went toward the development of the United States&#65533;</span>
&#65533;&#65533;the National City Bank of New York, exclusive monopoly upon the right of importing and exporting American and other foreign money to and from Haiti, a monopoly which would carry unprecedented and extraordinarily lucrative privileges.&#65533;
&#65533;U.S. financial administrators continued to dominate the Haitian economy until the final debt on the earlier loans was retired in 1947&#65533;.
THE &#65533;CODE NOIR&#65533; (MARCH 1685)
&#65533;Article XII. Children born from marriages between slaves shall be slaves, and if the husband and wife have different masters, they shall belong to the masters of the female slave, not to the master of her husband&#65533;.

Britisha, thanks for the above. It shows how and why Haiti became the poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. It wouldn't be a stretch if after this, they are now at bottom as the poorest in the world... It is clear to see that if the Americans had left Haiti alone and the French didn't connive with the Americans for them both to benefit at her expense, Haiti would never be the basket case she became...
