A Proslavery Foreign Policy: Haitian-American Relations During the Early Republic Book

While the influence of racial policy has long been a factor in American foreign policy, one particularly evident example is U.S. relations with Haiti. The troubled relationship began under George Washington, who authorized the dispatch of arms and ammunition to help the French planters of Saint Dominque, present day Haiti, suppress the black rebellion. Washington's support for the defense of slavery in this regard, proved to be important precident in the formulation of a proslavery policy in the White House, the State Department, and the Congress.
