How much of this caused the state Haiti is in today?
Haiti's problems are definitely related to their difficult history.
The United States had opportunities to really help very early in their history, but didn't. Having a black republic in this hemisphere was unfathomable at the time to a nation as committed to slavery as ours was. And when we finally decided to do something to help (a few centuries later) it was too late.

That is right leftist, its not that fact we had very little money, and did not have the means are want to help them...But nooooo it must be racism...
National building is not the job of America now or ever..Deal with it..
Another problem with Haiti was that is was depended on sugar cane which wasn't good in the soil and the average life of a slave working in sugar cane was 12 years.
Why would early america help a nation formed by slaves when it still has slaves.
Why didn't any other nation help them? Canada? England? Spain?
Also a few state up north by then had made slavery illegal..
