    After the Haitian Revolution in 1804, Haiti was left in a state of confusion and economic ruin. Other nations feared doing business with Haiti due to the possibility of unintended consequences, and stopped trading with the country. As a result, Haiti lacked diplomatic and trade relations, which destroyed its economy and infrastructure. Meanwhile, other countries were able to gain economic opportunities by expanding their slave trade and exports, since Haiti was no longer seen as competition. Western nations also boycotted Haiti and imposed tariffs, making it impossible for the country to engage in trade and further worsening its economic struggles.

    In 1804, after the revolution Haiti was left in utter confusion and great losses.

    Economically, it
    brought forth changes not only in Haiti but also in the Caribbean. “Haiti lacked diplomatic and
    trade relations with other nations”Colin McKey(2016 pg.iii).Haiti was broken down beyond
    repair and caused other nations to stop trading with them because of fear of an unintended
    consequence occurring while doing business with Haiti. “The haitian revolution destroyed the
    capital and infrastructure of the economy” Colin Mckey (2016 pg.iii).Due to the destruction of
    these components other countries were able to gain great opportunities in slave trade and the
    exporting of goods because Haiti was no longer seen as competition. According to Colin
    McKey“Western nations boycotted Haiti and placed a cargo on them” this made Haiti unable to
    do any form of trading and had to pay a huge amount of money which made the economy even
    poorer,the former “Pearl of the Antilles” was no longer able to do business and as such they
    began to focus on growing sufficient crop to feed each person's individual family.
