Sak pase! As a Haitian I also just subscribed to this thread! Anyone can also feel free to discuss Haiti with me.
I have a question for GlobalHumanism: How will TTL Haiti deal with the language barrier? OTL, the use of French in government and education essentially meant that those who weren't raised speaking French at home (as in, 95% of the population) could go through school learning nothing because it was in a foreign language. Laws were also written in French, meaning that most of the population could not even understand the legal codes. Essentially, those who weren't raised in French-speaking families were barred from gaining any power. With European French as the official language of TTL Haiti, how are class struggles between the mulatto minority and black majority playing out?

And with a large Spanish-speaking populace, adding a third language to the mix, are Spanish-speakers facing any discrimination?
Being Haitian, I'm really complimented that someone has done so much research on Haiti and I think this is an awesome project, so keep it up!
Nap boule! Finally lol I thought I was the only Haitian in AH.com history lol. Like Drake said Nigga we made it.
So the Americans freed themselves from the opressor's yoke 30 years ago, but now seek to deny freedom to the Caribbeans only because they are black men? VIVA LA GRAN COLOMBIA!!
It does provide an interesting feeling. A nation that you usually root for as the good guys is depicted as the bad guys without having a different government or culture. I'm talking about the US, of course.
Time for the Latin Americans to show the USA what true freedom is all about! VIVE L'OUVERTURE, VIVA BOLIVAR!
Wait I can see this war with Britain end bad for the US. Gran Colombia with Haiti instigating a massive slave revolt in the South? Maybe a a slave revolt in Brazil too?
Think of this as nation chemotherapy for the usa. And that the planter elite is the cancer.
The cancer will be cured with liberal application of machete to the neck.

Lol no, too easy. Let the US fragment, in a similar way to the early 'What Madness is This', and then when it gets it's act together, get smashed again by the Caribbean Union, Mexico and the UK.
