The situation in Haiti is an important lesson regarding current immigration issues and population replacement theories.

TLDR; It’s just genetics.

Africa is a big continent with many different groups of people that evolved over long periods of time that were fairly isolated from each other. They didn’t have Conestoga wagons and ships so they didn’t travel that much.

Evolutionarily speaking groups in isolation will develop distinct characteristics. In Europe we talk about the difference between the Dutch and the Spanish. Or we compare the Irish to the Germans. at any rate, there is significant variety in behavior between the distinct European populations. The same should hold true for the African continent. And more so because Africa is so much larger with so much less travel. When the British found a local population in Africa that made good slaves they took them with them. And spread them all around the continent. The Native Americans are known for adamantly refusing slavery across the boards. They would suicide in the most horrific ways rather than be a slave. (Pro tip; that’s why we had to genocide them. Well that and the fact that we couldn’t figure out how to tax a damn TeePee) And in the pre-civil war United States there are several documented breeding programs where they were trying to create the perfect slave by mixing different (mostly african) populations

Haitis population has not significantly changed genetically since they overthrew the French. They’ve been fairly isolated and so genetically they’re kind of frozen in time. They have been manifesting the same behavior consistently for hundreds and hundreds of years now.

So my theory is; wherever the French sourced these slaves for Haiti was likely an inherently violent and chaotic place to begin with as it was manifesting the local populations proclivities. They were knowingly importing violent or “tough“ slaves.

If they were not purposefully or accidentally sourcing a particular genetic strain, the only other cause of this would be that they Interbred different populations that were imported into Haiti to create the people that now occupy Haiti.

(Tangentially; if any of what I say above is true it is very likely that the world’s populations are being mixed together in a very careful well thought out manner.)
