Je pense qu'il y a quelques erreurs (ou maladresse plutôt!). Plutôt que de les énumérer j'ai préféré réécrire le texte corrigé :

Saint-Domingue, the richest colony. A natural disaster? It is only half true. Was it the Haitian people's fault? Surely not. Fate? Too easy. Was it the curse?
Maybe. But which one? And where does it come from? From far, very far away. Haiti continues to
pay at a high price the consequences of his birth. The least we can
say is that its birth between 1802 and 1804 was not desired. In spite of
killing the newborn, the Western countries, the France of Napoleon Bonaparte
in front line, tried to stifle the child of the French Revolution. The country then experienced
the worst bloodletting in its history, worse than in 2010: the one of
war of independence. Haiti, the only slave revolt that has given birth to a
State, was born of the French rejection of the colonizer. A crime against the North.
France could not accept such a defeat, unacceptable affront to the legendary
Napoleon ... and to the National Foreign Trade: Saint-Domingue was
regarded in 1789 as the richest colony, producing half of
World sugar. The Europe of the 19th century, which would colonize half the
world could not tolerate such an emancipation. And the the newborn United States,
country of slave owners, how could they accept
such a nation at their doorstep? For each other, only one solution: the occultation.
Delete Haiti memories. Forbid him to exist.
