The *Dearborn independent* argued that an immediate withdrawal of American marines from Haiti would quickly lead to revolution and governmental collapse. The article contrasted the French colonial period's agricultural prosperity with the nation's condition following Toussaint L'Ouverture's uprising and Jean-Jacques Dessalines's 1804 declaration of independence. It asserted that more than a century of post-independence conflict and despotic leadership had ruined the country's plantations and civil institutions.

follow the departure of our occupational forces by a
few days and the Marines would scarcely be away long
enough to settle down on their battleships before trouble
would necessitate their return.
For more than a century the Haytian mass have
followed the African instinct back to barbarism. Pre
vious to 1804 by fifty years their land under the French
had become the richest area in the West Indies. Great
plantations of sugar and coffee covered the land. Beau
tiful cities, built after the French plan, graced the
seaports, which were constantly filled with craft carry
ing the products to Kurope. Napoleon looked upon his
West Indian possession as the richest under the Hag
of France.
When Toussaint L'Ouverture. an ex-slave, led a
revolt against the French land and slave owners in
1798, there started a period of terror which ended in
1804 when Dessalines, the successor of L'Ouverture
stood on the seashore at Gonaives. tore the French
tricolor into three pieces, cast away the white and or
dered the red and blue bars to be fastened together as
the flag of independent Hayti. The whites had been
expelled. Generations of despotism, revolution and
strife have followed. The great plantations of the
French, their rich architectural dwellings both in city
and country have gone the way of ruin. The ruling
class one finds today in Hayti is gathered in the cities.
