Therefore, the Syrian American club sent a letter to the U.S. State Department of Washington D.C., explaining the reasons why the island was purchased for trade with the U.S. and asked for help and advice from the U.S. Federal Government.
At that time the Syrians had also addressed the majority of imports of goods to Haiti, both in the field of provisions as in beverages.
However, these traders were occupied all trades with the country, which made them gain rejection of a significant part of the population.
In this revolt, an opposition political party the government created, in order to get votes, was a slogan calling for the expulsion of the Syrian community.
Thus, the leader of this party was elected as the new president of Haiti and he banned the Syrians from setting up enterprises in the country and removed the license they had to trade.
