Alexandre Petion and Haiti land reform
Alexandre Petion has introduced a land reform following the independence of Haiti that many would agree has cost the country a great deal.
Christophe went to the north and Pétion took the southern Republic of Haiti. One major act by Alexandre Pétion was land redistribution. He seized commercial plantations from the rich and had the land redistributed to his supporters and the peasantry.
In the short term, that earned him lot of respect and appreciation by the beneficiaries. He earned the nickname Papa Bon-CÅ"ur "good-hearted father" as a result.
The land seizures and redistribution ended up reducing the production of commodities for the export economy. As a result, most of the population became subsistence farmers. Exports and state revenue declined sharply.
