Only two nemesis Haitian Leaders, Henry Christophe and Alexandre Petion, had the chance to have potentially establish great prosperity for Haiti.

However neither of them succeeded given the nature of many Haitians not knowing how to place aside their differences as well as it is not in the Haitian people to abide by rules and laws even set by their own Government which the Government itself do not follow quite often.

As it states in the record during the time of those two leaders that "Many people were dissatisfied with the strictness of Christophe's regime.

As productivity and export levels rose, however, the quality of their lives improved in comparison with revolutionary and immediately post-revolutionary days." countrystudies.us/haiti/12.htm

Once again, not a single infrastructural construction projects that have taken place in Haiti were the work of the Haitian Government or the people themselves.

Most if not all of the Constructural Development that ever were constructed or taken place in the nation were the work or foreign occupiers and foreign ethnic groups, who later perhaps became citizens and have settled in the Country as well were taken part into the Government and Mulatto elite groups in Haiti.

"The occupation had several positive aspects.

It greatly improved Haiti's infrastructure.

Roads were improved and expanded.

Almost all roads, however, led to Port-au-Prince, resulting in a gradual concentration of economic activity in the capital.

Bridges went up throughout the country; a telephone system began to function; several towns gained access to clean water; and a construction boom (in some cases employing forced labor) helped restore wharves, lighthouses, schools, and hospitals.

Public health improved, partially because of United States-directed campaigns against malaria and yaws (a crippling disease caused by a spirochete).

Sound fiscal management kept Haiti current on its foreign-debt payments at a time when default among Latin American nations was common.

By that time, United States banks were Haiti's main creditors, an important incentive for Haiti to make timely payments."
