Haiti's Mottos: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity." "Union makes strength."

Haiti, I Think of You

By Dr. Charles L. Singleton

Historically speaking, every time I think of Haiti's indigenous Taino (Caribbean) people of South America, the name Christopher Columbus (December 5, 1492) comes to mind. Upon arriving in this most populous country in the Caribbean, Columbus thought that he was in India or China.  Today's estimates of Haiti’s population are 11.4 million people, according to various encyclopedia sources.

Overtime, Spain (early 17th century) made Haiti an integral part of the Spanish Empire (La Española). In 1697, the French portion of West Haiti (Saint-Domingue), France 'profitably colonized' sugarcane plantations by using thousands of slaves who were captured in Africa.

Thus, creating one of the riches colonies in the whole-wide world.  However, during the French Revolution (1789-1799), the first Black general of the French Army, Toussaint Louverture led free Haitians and slaves successfully (1789-1804), while defeating Napoleon Bonaparte's army. Then in 1804, Jean-Jacques Dessalines (General-Emperor) solemnly proclaimed Haiti as a sovereign nation of South America and the Caribbean; the first country in the Americas to abolish slavery.
