After liberation in 1804, Haiti "was almost immediately made a pariah state by world powers[. POTUS] Thomas Jefferson worked to isolate Haiti diplomatically & strangle it economically, fearing that the success of Haiti would inspire slave revolts back home. With the invention & spread of the cotton gin, slavery was becoming much more lucrative at the very same time a free Haiti was coming into existence." The US "didn't officially recognize Haiti until 1862, as slavery began being abolished."
