What is now Haiti was once entirely ruled by Spain, but was seized by France thanks in large part due to the efforts of French buccaneers over the years.

So, what if it had become English, in a manner similar to Jamaica? Maybe more English buccaneers amongst the people on the then-sparsely populated western part of the island, followed by an English army routing the defenders there and seizing the place. But as in OTL, they fail to conquer the eastern half of the island. And let's also say that Jamaica is either successfully defended by the Spanish to begin with, or the Spanish recapture it soon after. Possibly Jamaica's fate TTL is to be turned over repeatedly as were many Caribbean islands.

Now we have established English Saint-Domingue. Will they give it a new name, either in the Cromwell-era or after, or will it simply be known as Saint Dominic (I'll call it that from this point forth for lack of creativity)? And let's also assume some good colonial governance turns the place into the Pearl of the Antilles as Saint-Domingue was. This means lots and lots of slavery, and lots and lots of slaves being imported under the English banner.

Aside from Haiti itself (I'll get to that), how might this affect the history of the Thirteen Colonies? The wealth of Saint Dominic will make it easily the most important colony. How will the southern colonies compete with this place? Let's assume there's gonna be an American Revolution of some form. Saint Dominic will be a major base, being so close, for operations both in North America and in the Caribbean. But let's assume the United States wins, and gains their 1783 borders anyway.

Now for Saint Dominic, if a slave rebellion happens there, and the English monumentally fail as bad as France did OTL, and the place gains independence, then what? It might get a better deal than OTL Haiti. It might be less damaged than OTL Haiti. But it's still gonna have to claw its way up in the world after the conflict. And what might it be called? The former slaves and others on the island will be speaking an English-based creole, probably akin to the many other English creoles, so it won't be called "Ayiti" nor "Haiti".

And finally, what would the relation of the US be with this English slave republic? Would it make a good place for Liberia-sort of efforts, some of which OTL were attempted on Hispaniola? Or simply a nice annexation target?
