Source: Douglas Egerton, Professor of History Le Moyne College, on the impact of the Haitian Revolution on Americans in a PBS interview in the 1990s Jefferson was terrified of what was happening in Saint Domingue. He referred to Toussaints army as cannibals. His fear was that black American would be inspired by what they saw taking place just off the shore of America. And he spent his entire career trying to shut down any contact, and therefore any movement of information, between the American mainland and the Caribbean island. He called upon Congress to abolish trade between the United States and what after 1804 was the independent country of Haiti. He argued that France believed it still owned the island. In short, he denied that Haitian revolutionaries had the same right to independence and autonomy that he claimed for American patriots. And consequently, in 1805 and finally in 1806, trade was formally shut down between the United States and Haiti, which decimated the already very weak Haitian economy. And of course, Jefferson then argued that this was an example of what happens when Africans are allowed to govern themselves: economic devastation caused in large part by his own economic policies.
