U.S. Intervention in Haiti

Recently I've been forgetting to blog, but we are now learning about United States imperialism. Currently, we are starting Central America and the Caribbean.
Today in class, we learned about U.S. intervention in Haiti and we were asked to blog about a question that was given to us in class.
"How have the Haitians responded to the presence of U.S. Marines in their country?"

 

HAITI UNHAPPY WITH U.S. HELP

 

       The people of Haiti are unable to recognize that the U.S. are trying to help them. They have begun to train the Haitian militia to be able to fight back and citizens have been instructed to resist U.S. influence. Charlemagne Peralte went to far as to lead a resistance movement and criticized President Wilson for "pretending" to respect the small nations in Europe. They claim that for years we have been insulting them by trying to help them out with all their problems. They don't see that the poverty and destruction within it can be helped if the right people, us, back them up. They have informed us that it doesn't matter if we burn their cities, that we should back away and leave them to their own lives.
       According to Mr. Peralte, we have no right to fight them, even though it is for their own general good. We simply want to establish the same principles as we have in America, since we are a successful Union and want other people to follow suit. We are an intelligent and well-rounded community that simply wants to show others how to be successful. They are fit to rule, yes, but they are not fit to resolve the growing conflicts amongst their people. They will not back down even with U.S. military reinforcements present in their own country, but they will not give up and they will not give in.
