Just before falling under Haitian rule, we were already independent, we do not celebrate that Independence because we were not oppressed and it was practically verbal as citizens dissatisfied with their government and it was because they were very focused on all their new discoveries in America, such as Venezuela, Mexico, etc. We called it “Ephemeral Independence” because it had only lasted less than 3 months when Haiti was imppossed on us. ❤️
