IKYK the "post-slavery" US government's interference & domination of the world's first Black democratic nation didn't end there.

Haitians were forced to pay 150m francs for their "inalienable" right to freedom.

That was 10 times the amount Jefferson had paid France for the Louisiana Purchase - territory 77 times the size of Haiti.

Contrast:England's prompt & full recognition of American independence in 1783 Treaty of Paris, as well as a vast land grant that doubled the size of the new nation.
