SummaryResumen

of the first places where Columbus
landed in the New World. He called it
Hispaniola Its fertility early attracted
Spanish colonists, who tried to garner
its wealth by the forced labor of its
Indian inhabitants. The Indians re
sisted and in time were practically ex
terminated. while Negro slaves were
imported from Africa to do the work
on the plantations.
French Made Colony Wealthy.
As a result of the wars between Spain
and France the western third of the
island, now known as Haiti, became
a French colony, while the eastern two
thirds, now the Dominican Republic,
remained Spanish. The French made
of their colony one of the most produc
tive and wealthiest in the West Indies.
But its wealth was based upon
slavery, and when the French Revolu
tion deprived the colonists of the pro
tection of the French crown, the slaves
rose in revolt.. Through a horrible j
decade inadequate French forces fought, j
against armed Negroes and tropical I
disease. The whites were finally driven
from Haiti and the Negro republic pro
claimed in 1804.

pursued its fantastic course. One mili
tary dictator after another, some bet
ter and some worse, some calling them
selves “king" and some “emperor," some
with the ability of Nord Alexis and
some with the grotesque absurdity of
a soulouque, ruled the natives. The
lot of the latter was anything but an
improvement over the days of slavery.
Jungle Reclaimed Plantations.
Roads, bridges, aqueducts, built by
the French, rotted to ruin. The jungle
