   Extractions: Arawaks , when Christopher Columbus discovers the island in 1492. The island is named Hispaniola and claimed as a Spanish colony. France captures the western part of the island in 1664 and establishes the colony of Saint-Domingue. When Spain recognizes this claim in 1697 with the Treaty of Rijswijk the island is divided in a French and a Spanish ( Santo Domingo) part. In 1791 Negro slaves begin a resistance against the French. Between 1795 and 1808 (independent) Saint-Domingue includes Santo Domingo, but Santo Domingo is reverted to Spain in 1808.

   Extractions: Take the time to read the following chronology. From these brief facts you will see a history of a truly resilient people, who fought off slavery and survived civil wars, countless massacres and truly oppressive leadership. The Haitians proclaimed themselves the first black republic in the world in 1804, and have remained independent to this day. December 5, 1492 : Columbus discovers Haiti (the island of Hispaniola) : The Spaniards cede the western third of Hispaniola to the French crown at the Treaty of Ryswick. Haiti is now called "Saint Domingue". : Saint Domingue becomes the richest colony in the world. Its capital, Cap Français, is known as the Paris of the New World. It is also a regime of extraordinary cruelty; the 500,000 slaves taken by the French are flogged, starved, and buried alive for minor offenses. August 1791 : the first major black rebellion takes place, initiated by Boukman, a voodoo houngan . This begins the markings of civil war between the black dominated north and the mulatto dominated south. : Toussaint L'Ouverture, an educated herb doctor and military man, emerges as the leader of the former slaves in the north. He restored order, ended the massacres, and restored some of Saint Domingue's former prosperity.

It was inhabited by the Taíno , an Arawakan people, who variously called their island Ayiti, Bohio , or Kiskeya . Columbus promptly claimed the island for the Spanish Crown , and renamed it La Isla Española ("the Spanish Island"), or Hispañola (later Anglicized as Hispaniola Columbus established a small settlement, but, when he returned in 1493, the settlers had disappeared, presumably killed. Following the arrival of Europeans, La Hispaniola's indigenous population suffered near-extinction, in possibly the worst case of depopulation in the Americas. A commonly accepted hypothesis attributes the high mortality of this colony in part to Old World diseases to which the natives had no immunity. Taínos were able to survive and set up villages elsewhere.

   Extractions: Login: Password: Eight hundred miles south of Miami by sea, Haiti shares the island of Hispaniola with the Dominican Republic . The more than 7 million people within its mountainous 10,000 square miles make Haiti the most densely populated and poorest nation in the Western Hemisphere. The average Haitian earns less than $300 ( US ) per year. Many babies do not live to see their third birthday. Drinking water usually comes from a polluted river, a ditch or open pond. Food is so scarce and expensive that most Haitian children receive less nutrition than the average American house pet. A recent report from the United Nations Development Program described health care in Haiti as nearly catastrophic. One of every three deaths in Haiti is that of a child. With most people earning less than $1 a day, many do without medicine. Death during childbirth is the second leading cause of death among women, HIV rates are climbing, and tuberculosis is common, the report said. The people of Haiti are descendants of slaves brought over from Africa centuries ago. In 1804, Haiti became the first Black Republic in the world, gaining its independence by driving out the French colonists.

At the height of slavery, near the end of the 18th century, some 500,000 people mainly of western African origin, were enslaved by the French.

In those days, before 1492 (before the so called discovery of Haiti) there were five well organized kingdoms in Haiti: the Magua, the Marien, the Xaragua, the Maguana, and the Higuey. Haiti was self sufficient at the time and its early inhabitants lived in perfect harmony with the land that they use to cultivate a great deal of the foods that Haitians still eat today. They also practice hunting to get meat. They worshiped nature and had traditional rituals performed at the rhythm of the drumbeat. Then came Christopher Columbus and the life on this paradise peaceful island would never be the same. Colonial powers have since 1492 claimed and occupied Haitians land. Starting in 1492 with the Spanish, then the French and later on the English to name a few.

    Extractions: Your location is: > Countries Region: Latin America > Haiti > History The Spaniards used the island of Hispaniola (of which Haiti is the western part and the Dominican Republic the eastern) as a launching point from which to explore the rest of the Western Hemisphere. French buccaneers later used the western third of the island as a point from which to harass English and Spanish ships. In 1697, Spain ceded the western third of Hispaniola to France. As piracy was gradually suppressed, some French adventurers became planters, making Saint Domingue, as the French portion of the island was known, the "pearl of the Antilles"one of the richest colonies in the 18th century French empire. Two separate regimesnorth and southemerged after independence but were unified in 1820. Two years later, Haiti occupied Santo Domingo, the eastern, Spanish-speaking part of Hispaniola. In 1844, however, Santo Domingo broke away from Haiti and became the Dominican Republic. With 22 changes of government from 1843 to 1915, Haiti experienced numerous periods of intense political and economic disorder, prompting the United States military intervention of 1915. Following a 19-year occupation, U.S. military forces were withdrawn in 1934, and Haiti regained sovereign rule.

11. Haiti: Revolution Part 4
    Conclusion of an essay by Bob Corbett on the Haitian Revolution led by Toussain-Louverture.  
    http://www.webster.edu/~corbetre/haiti/history/revolution/revolution4.htm
    
    Extractions: September 1991 But, the real story, as set in the very beginning of the 19th century was much more glorious than the Haitians knew. Haiti was the economic giant, the plum of Napoleon's empire, and the jewel around which he would build his empire. The then small and less interesting U.S. would simply be a feeding ground for the slaves he intended to reinstate in Saint-Domingue. Even after I researched and wrote this paper, and told the tale to many Haitians, they tend to still prefer the other story, which is not nearly so glorious to Haiti as the true story. Odd. But that's the way it is! Bob Corbett corbetre@webster.edu Bob Corbett September 1991 It is general folk knowledge in Haiti that Toussaint Louverture and the Haitian revolutionaries saved the United States from being invaded by Napoleonic forces in 1803. This popular lore surfaces often in discussions with Haitians, particularly when the speakers are complaining about later U.S. policy and treatment of Haiti. The general suggestion is that the United States was indeed saved almost single handedly by the Haitians, and that the U.S. is extremely ungrateful for the service rendered it. Further, I've often heard this point raised to underline the ignorance that Americans typically have of the relative importance each nation held on the stage of world politics in 1802-03.

Misconceptions about voodoo have given Haiti a reputation for sorcery and zombies. Popular images of voodoo have ignored the religion's basis as a domestic cult of family spirits. Adherents of voodoo do not perceive themselves as members of a separate religion; they consider themselves Roman Catholics. In fact, the word for voodoo does not even exist in rural Haiti. The Creole word vodoun refers to a kind of dance and in some areas to a category of spirits. Roman Catholics who are active voodooists say that they "serve the spirits," but they do not consider that practice as something outside of Roman Catholicism. Haitians also distinguish between the service of family spirits and the practice of magic and sorcery
