The Importance Of Life In Haiti
Haiti is a very poor country and so is the economy. Living in haiti was very stressful for a

lot of people because since nothing good was happening because of the poor

government system, it cause many people to be depressed or maybe end up committing

suicide. Many people was unemployed, many sources was very unreliable and many

people said they basically had no hope. As a child I grew up in a small island called

jamaica, our economy was also poor but not that poor. Life was very difficult in jamaica

but it was not terrible my mom did everything she could to take care of us.We always had

shoes on our feet, clothes on our back, and sometime we were not always able to have

food in our stomach but she did everything she could in her will

    Before the revolution, Haiti was an extremely successful French sugar plantation colony. As the revolution progressed, however, their financial successes began to diminish. According to Douglas Egerton, Thomas Jefferson had an embargo placed upon Haiti, hoping that it would decrease influence of revolt upon the United States’ slaves. In 1806, “trade was formally shut down between the United States and Haiti, which decimated the already very weak Haitian economy.” Professor Egerton is most likely an objective and trustworthy source, being a history professor at Le Moyne College. Haiti only produced cash crops, and once cut off from all possible traders, they had no source of income, leading to a striking economic downturn. To this day, Haiti has remained an economically instable nation, which is a direct result of their early economic restrictions.
