I know you know that the "post-slavery" US government's interference & domination of the world's first Black democratic nation didn't end there.

Haitians were forced to pay 150 million francs for their "inalienable" right to freedom.
That was 10 times the amount Jefferson had paid France for the Louisiana Purchase - territory probably 100 times the size of Haiti? 1000 times? IDK. Sometime tell me.
