Florida was barely controlled by Spain when it was sold to the Americans. I would assume any purchase of Haiti after the revolution would be at a steep discount.
Perhaps if the Quasi War becomes a full blown conflict you could see the American navy assisting the Dominicans in throwing out the French in 1808 and 1809. This could potentially provide a backdrop for the forming of a relationship between the Dominican elite and the Americans. Come 1821, the US might look like a reasonable prospect to stave of the possibility of Haitian annexation.
Agreed, terrifying, thought could make for a great timeline. Is it possible there could be a bigger haiti-screw than OTL?
I see it more likely they'll start hunting them to bring them to the Deep South for slave labor.bump on the is widespread genocide possible question

They certainly didn't stop when it came to Mexico.You think people in the U.S at the time would even mind the cost that much ? They probably complain but about it but I don't think they would stop.

There's a history of lynchings of several Hispanic people throughout the XIX Century in the Southwest after the Mexican Cession (and even at the times of the Texan Republic). It's not as known as the mass lynchings of blacks (Which some argue, coupled with the still-present disenfranchisement, as well as the continuous episodes of Police Britality, to be a form of Slow-Motion Genocide), but it still was (and if one counts the mass graves of Hispanics in Texas, still is) a very real phenomenon. It may not count as Genocide from the traditional sense, but it were certainly acts of racially-based violence that costed the lives of many people.I'm not aware of a genocide against the Mexicans. Native Americans, obviously, but 1, I'm not sure that was the primary goal (I believe the goal was to move them, killing them was just a byproduct), and 2, it was on a much smaller scale.
