Now, *somehow,* no white nation besides France was willing to "lend" lucrative Haiti the $ to pay to their white "masters" for rights Jefferson had described as natural & "inalienable".
This joint extortion by slave powers, trapped Haiti in a prison of debt it took 122 yrs to pay.
Then, the US "violently occupied" Haiti for 19 yrs in the early 1900s. It "left Haiti in 1934 [but] continued to control Haiti's public finances until 1947, siphoning away around 40% of Haiti's national income"
