7. They've never forgiven for having to overthrow their vicious "owners:"

When they were successful after their revolution, they assisted Cuba's very large population of "slaves" trying to gain their freedom, too, but, unfortunately, that revolution failed during that attempt so long ago.

Anyone who has bothered to learn what has happened to Haiti after they gained what should have been their freedom, as the US gained its freedom, under far less brutal authorities, also learned they were never allowed a moment of peace, but continued to be targeted by powerful predators, and driven immediately into another kind of servitude.

In the meantime, Washington has carried on as if nothing has ever happened, and has protected the rights of groups which succeeded in turning a profit from the people of Haiti at their great, great expense. They never were able to get a moment's peace after struggling so hard, suffering so greatly.

It could drive people of conscience insane, couldn't it?
