ABSTRACT This article describes the Haitian Revolution and Independence as a war of secession from the colonial metropole on the one hand, and a profound civil fracture on the other. The Haitian Revolution itself is considered here as an as an accident in the modern Western world's sphere of influence, whose structures remain in the process of resolution both internally and externally. In the long-term, the history of Haiti can be viewed as the failed attempt to compromise resulting from this unexpected split. I suggest that, today, Haiti is living a forced return to assimilation as defined by the wealthy countries, but under the leadership of a new Metropole: the United States of America. My reflection will conclude by noting that the oligarchy of the French citizens of Haiti is in a precarious position, and that it too emerges as a loser in the accelerated decadence of the State and the Haitian nation. This article proposes that forcible acknowledgment of these processes and fractures can aid Haiti in grappling for its " state " of freedom from a united internal point of departure. The initial hypothesis of this study is that the working classes of Haiti, deported against their will from Africa to Saint-Domingue in their capacity as slaves, can resolve their problems themselves , as did the pilgrims of the Mayflower, the American adventurers of the Far West, the Brazilian bandeirantes, or the Australian or Kiwi pioneers. The difference between the Haitian case and these other populations of expatriates is that the latter produced their elites themselves, while
