This crisis had a devastating effect on the House of Rothchilds, which had substantial holdings of French stock. It is not surprising that France, aided and abetted by Britain and the United States, would put Haiti in a headlock, after 1804, to save international finance. Haiti would have to cough up 150 million francs, approximately $22 billion in today's dollars. Haiti is still reeling from this extortion plot. The Haitian economy was booby trapped from its inception. Alexander Hamilton influenced the writing of Haiti's first Constitution. Haiti was initially isolated diplomatically, thanks to Thomas Jefferson, for six decades, and similarly, this nation subjected Haiti to a prolonged economic embargo. The U.S. Marines occupied Haiti from 1915 until 1934 while Franklin D. Roosevelt, a...
This is not nefarious, it's not a plot and its not redlining. We want to create educated consumers," [Sue Hofer] said. "In the best world, credit counseling would convince people not to purchase property they cannot afford. "The computer system doesn't exist," [Tom Cunningham] said. "(My clients) have no idea how to get certificates. Everything could come to a grinding halt on Sept. 1. My clients are closing loans in those zip codes everyday." "People don't need the government looking over their shoulders. It's still up to you as borrowers," he said. "The accusation is that some lenders not interested in people paying their mortgages. But my clients hate foreclosures. My clients all have reputations that took a lot of money to build."
-South Carolina issues one of the first set of "Black Codes" designed to "regulate the relations of people of color." Several other Southern states immediately followed suit. Although the South had just lost the Civil War and slavery had ended. Southern whites remained obsessed with controlling Blacks. The "Black Codes" did everything from barring interracial marriages to banning Blacks from owning guns to outlawing Blacks from owning certain types of businesses. Many "Black Codes" or Jim Crow laws were still enforced until the successes of the Civil Rights Movement of the 1960s. -Black Americans begin calling themselves "African-Americans."

[...] it is one of the ironies of our history that it was the adoption of a Bill of Rights in 1791, together with the establishment of judicial review in Marbury v. Madison (1803), and the subsequent application of the Bill of Rights to the states through the 14th Amendment, that ultimately led to a virtually omnipotent aristocracy, one that has rewritten major features of the Constitution, including the Bill of Rights itself. Federal intervention outlawed the Black Codes of the South and, applying the 1964 Civil Rights Act through a very expansive reading of the Commerce Clause, did much to ban even private racial discrimination.
-Mississippi enacts another set of "Black Codes" designed to control and virtually re-enslave the recently freed slaves. The racist laws made it illegal for Blacks to be called for jury duty, testify against a White person in court, own guns, attend White schools, or own farmland. Several other Southern states immediately attempted to imitate the Mississippi laws. Reconstruction slowed the implementation of the "Black Codes." But when Reconstruction ended around 1877, the codes were re-instituted. -Scott Joplin is born in Texarkana, Texas. Joplin became skilled at the piano and with composing music. As a result of these skills and his energy, he became one of the leading founders of a music genre known as "Ragtime" which was one of the most popular types of music in America for ...
