Jean Pierre Boyer was a mulatto of mixed African and European descent, who was educated in France and who tried to stop a severe decline in the Haitian economy. He served with the mulatto leader Alexandre Sabès Pétion and the black leader Henry Christophe after they had killed the Haitian independence leader and self-proclaimed emperor Jean-Jacques Dessalines in 1806.

Throughout history and today, Haitians have lived in poverty with small chance of being able to provide for themselves and their families, but organizations such as KORE…
Haiti, a Caribbean country on the island of Espanola, is a promising site for development and industry. Although the country has had some hardships, such as natural disasters and historic conflicts with France and the U.S., it has been able to step up in the industrial ladder as a textile-producing and sugar refining country. This is promising for its economy, and should be able to help the development of the country under certain conditions, for example, Haiti being able to trade with more developed countries and export more products. As long as the country can recover from their economic hardships, then in the near future, maybe within the next 50-100 years, I believe Haiti will become more industrialized and will become a more centralized…
