You invaded us and slaughtered our people and now you say that you freed us from slavery. fukk off!! You're all worthless scum, who have always envied and hated DR. You guys want our country and our people to dissapear, thats the real haitian wet dream. And the harder you hate on us, the more miserable your country becomes, to the point where the haitian population has found itself drowning in a pile of shyt. Now that you can't invade us, what you do is make everybody feel sorry for you and spread disgusting bad publicity to make the world hate dominicans.
OK, you and the people who complained about Haitians invading DR in the 1800s are either misguided or outright lying.
The truth is this..in 1822, Nunez de Caceres declared the independence of the eastern side of the island as “Spanish Haiti.” Concerned that Nunez de Caceres planned to re-establish slavery, other leaders on the eastern side asked Boyer (the leader of Haiti at the time) to help establish order. Under Boyer’s leadership and with popular support, de Caceres and his partisans were forced to surrender. Boyer reunited the entire island as dictated by the country’s Constitution which called for the preservation of one indivisible island without slavery.
Boyer never colonized nor conquered nor invaded the eastern side of the island because that portion of the island was already a part of Haiti. Revisionist historians (and people like you) repeatedly accuse Boyer and Haiti of having invaded the eastern part of the island which supposedly belonged to Spain. However, if that was the case, Boyer virtually would have been declaring war on Spain. It would have made ABSOLUTELY NO SENSE for Boyer to buy peace with France (out of fear of war with France) just to declare war with Spain.
Haiti never attacked any Spanish owned territory.
Boyer’s government became unpopular when it levied taxes on Haitians to pay France, but it took an earthquake in 1842 (when Haiti was still under an American embargo) to end his administration. The resulting disarray empowered rebel groups throughout the island. An opposition group sprung in the south and a separatist movement (led by Juan Pablo Duarte) gained momentum in the east and eventually led to the eastern side of the island declaring its independence in February 1844.
Here's where the US got its hands dirty...
POTUS Tyler responded by saying that the United States, France, and Spain must quickly recognize this new nation (DR) in order to limit the influence of Black people in the Caribbean. The United States quickly recognized Dominican independence but waited 20 years later to recognize that of Haiti. With the eastern separatists backed by these countries, Haiti couldn't maintain the island as one nation.
Hell, even years after the eastern side became the DR, there was no defined border between the two countries until 1929 (under US occupation). The US occupation force was selected from the US south.
The argument was that southern whites knew best how to control Negros. The border was drawn in a way that favored the lighter skinned Dominicans. Haiti was forced to overlook the 1795 Treaty of Basel that gave the entire island to France and return instead to the earlier 1697 Treaty of Ryswick which gave 2/3 of the island to Spain and 1/3 to France. That treaty predated and ignored the outcome of the Haitian Revolution.
THIS is what really happened during the 1820s. Haiti NEVER invaded the DR so dead that myth.
All these facts demonstrate was that various superpowers had an interest in limiting Hispaniola's black influence and created the DR in order to keep Haiti under their control. DR was established by racism.
The DR is a country that sprung from Haiti. Today, Haitians and Dominicans who can trace their family’s history to the earliest days of the DR will find that they have much in common. Indeed, the very founders of the Dominican Republic (like Duarte and Santana) were once Haitian citizens.
Be from a country created to marginalize blacks and claim that the country isn't racist, brehs...
