AB  - To a contemporary audience, Haiti brings to mind Voodoo spells, Tontons Macoutes, and boat people--nothing worth fighting over. Two centuries ago, however, Haiti, then known as Saint-Domingue, was the & ldquo;Pearl of the Antilles, & rdquo; France's most valuable overseas colony, the largest exporter of tropical products in the world, and the United States' second most important trading partner after England. Haiti was also the place where in 1801-1802 Napoľon Bonaparte sent the largest colonial venture of his reign: the Leclerc expedition.
