1. The main causes for Haiti's poor state before the earthquake is bad politics and government, not much schooling and such a large population for such a small country.
2. Haiti is the poorest country in the western hemisphere and the 4th poorest in the world.
3. Haitians were slaves of France until 1791, when the Haitians made a reveloution and killed 150,000 french, the most ever killed in a revelotion.
4. In 1802, Nepolion sent an army of 20,000 frenchmen to recapture Haiti.
5. After all of that it must be very hard for an over-populated country to rebound.

Matthew, I was hoping for 10 statements of information from your independent research time that would tell more about the history of Haiti and how that history has kept them down. I honestly believe you could have done better than this. #2? #5? Don't cheat yourself out of learning opportunities, Matthew.
