    There were high levels of distrust between social groups in colonial Saint Domingue, including whites, mulattoes, and blacks, leading to ongoing social instability. This division worsened after the Haitian Revolution and into the 19th century, as seen in the political rivalry between mulattoes and blacks after Henri Christophe became president in 1811. The lack of social unity from these colonial divisions continues in Haiti today.

    With these divisions, each class in the French colony had been against the other.

    There was a
    high level of distrust between these groups and as such, arose conflicts between the mulattoes
    and the whites, the whites and the blacks, the mulattoes and the blacks and the whites
    themselves. This ongoing social instability of Saint Domingue was a leading factor in the Haitian
    Revolution, but post revolution was where this division had hit the hardest. There had been more
    rivalry especially between the mulattoes and the blacks. One such example of this can be seen in
    the political division that had taken place in 1811 after Henri Christophe’s ascension to
    presidency. This social tension can be relayed into today’s Haiti where there is still no social
    unity among the people.

    With these divisions, naturally, there had been resentment by the socially disadvantaged (or disabled)
    towards the upper class.
