Haiti is
a nation that was not only founded on the conquest for freedom, but also
contributed towards the creation of the fifty states that makes up the United
States of America (USA) today. It was the successful slave rebellion of Haiti that made the
French flee and sell a large portion of their land to America in 1803. This
land is known as the Louisiana Purchase and it runs through the middle of
America from north to south. It also makes up to about a 25% of America and
covers 13 states.
Many
American historians teach about the Louisiana Purchase without mentioning
Haiti. Despite the fact that Haiti is a democracy in the western hemisphere
that was founded on freedom, White American led governments had chosen to ignore
it and punish it for its successful slave rebellion for almost two centuries
until this current earthquake hit Haiti. In fact, we learn more about communist
Cuba in America than the democracy, freedom, and contribution of Haiti to
the United States of America (USA).
As a
proud American of African descent, I would like to thank Haiti for fighting
against slavery and winning their freedom. This was necessary to make America a
complete and free nation in the new world. It brought about true democracy and
the American quest to promote freedom in distant lands. Until now, United
States of America (USA) had
never given back to Haiti, but thanks for teaching us that a successful fight
for freedom is as noble as the peace of God. May Haiti forever have peace!!!
