Excerpt from The Haytian Question
Calumny, bad faith, abuse and threats hold full sway, at a time when it is thought desirable to hoodwink public opinion in regard to the real causes of certain diplomatic incidents, and to conceal the blunders of short-sighted statesmen or political adventurers.

Excerpt from The Haytian Question
Day after day, the Haytian Question is forced upon public notice; and all on account of the affair of the Mole Saint-Nicolas.
It is no new thing, indeed, for a minor State, placed by the mere accident of its latitude and longitude upon the disputed ground of international competitions and rivalries, to acquire a sudden celebrity disproportionate to its place in history or its territorial importance. The Eastern Question, for example, which for so many years past has agitated the Old World, and which today is apparently as far from solution as ever, has given rise to innumerable subsidiary questions which have attracted the attention of the world to obscure peoples hitherto known merely as abstract geographical or ethnological names. Hence the mass of pamphlets and studies devoted to the Danubian Principalities, to Bulgaria, Servia, Herzegovina, Croatia, Montenegro, Crete; to the Marronites, the Druzes, the Fellahs, etc. Hence the avalanche of abuse, or the flood of eulogy, according to partisan interests and passions, which we see embodied in the thousands of articles published upon men and things in the petty territories coveted by such and such great continental or maritime power.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complex political and diplomatic history surrounding the Haytian Republic and its interactions with the United States in the late 19th century. The author meticulously examines the ongoing dispute over the strategic port of Mole Saint-Nicolas, situated on the northern tip of Haiti. The book traces the history of American interest in the region and analyzes the various attempts by the U.S. government to secure control of the port, beginning with the early 1800s. Through detailed accounts of diplomatic negotiations, political maneuvering, and instances of alleged misrepresentation, the author explores the power dynamics between the two nations and the underlying tensions that fueled the dispute. The book delves into the historical context of the "Haytian Question," placing it within the broader framework of American expansionism in the Caribbean and the evolving nature of U.S.-Latin American relations. Examining the arguments presented on both sides of the dispute, the book critiques the assumptions and actions of the U.S. government in its dealings with Haiti, ultimately challenging the notion of American exceptionalism and the legitimacy of its pursuit of territorial dominance. The author's insightful analysis of the Mole Saint-Nicolas affair sheds light on the complex historical dynamics between the United States and its Caribbean neighbors, exposing the often-hidden aspects of power and control in international relations.
