6 reasons why Haiti is a poor nation.

1. One reason why Haiti is so poor is because the French Plantation owners would make the Haitians work to death by growing things from indigo to sugar cane.

2. Another reason is that after they fought against slavery they were in a situation where they were considered a threat by the rest of the region because the rest of the region especially the United States because they own slaves which leads to not much support from the United States.

3. A third reason is that since the plantations have stopped, small money that the Haitians got from selling a bit of those crops were no longer there. Ergo, there was no money left for the education of Haitian children and less salary for the Haitians with jobs for there were no more supporters.

4. Reason four is that Haiti was seen increasingly as a terrible place mostly because of the racism people have against the Haitians. They judge them by skin color since most of the regions around them are light skinned.

5. Haiti started from a point of considerably greater illiteracy and lack of human and natural resources. The other thing that was happening was that those small scale farmers were doing other things. They were using charcoal for heating and cooking and essentially denuding the hills and forests, which now means they have major erosion problems throughout Haiti.

6. The Haiti region is a region that doesn't have industrial skills therefore the region is not able to trade their products in any significant way.
