Ancestral Day in Haiti

The state of Haiti is today considered one of the poorest states in North America . The history of the country is saturated with blood, as well as the annals of many other countries. Repression and struggle, riots and uprisings make up a considerable part of it. Only in 1804 was Haiti declared independent, which was not easy. But even after the long-awaited event, the bloodshed did not stop. The entire 19th century was painted red - power passed from hand to hand, the state was divided into parts - by the way, it was in the 19th century that San Domingo, now known as the Dominican Republic, disconnected from Haiti. The twentieth century brought only inflation and poverty, and the twenty-first century - a powerful earthquake and an epidemic of cholera .

Over the years, many lives have been lost. Today, the Republic of Haiti is recovering from the above events and does not forget about its heroes. That is why on January 2, all residents of the country celebrate Ancestral Day - all those who died for a bright future.
