News Paper Artical

So for history we have to answer one of these questions that we were given in this packet and write an artical for it so here it goes...

"How have the Haitians responded to the presence of U.S. Marines in their country?"



Yesterday's news today!!
  Hello and thank you for reading yesterday's news today, as most Americans know we have an increasing amount of troops down in Haiti as of right now. One of our jobs here at the newstaation is to ask the hard questions, so we asked the question, how do the Haitians feel about the U.S. presence in their country. We know the American's view of this whole thing but what are the reactions of the other country. According to a letter sent from Charlemagne Peralte there are many who don't like it at all. In this letter he is criticizing  the help that the U.S. is trying to give them.
  In his letter he talks about how on December 17th, 1914 the U.S marines went to Haiti and moved the gold that was in the gold reserves. Then A few months later they came again claiming that they wanted to protect foreign lives and property. They put Port au Prince under another law and began to make a Haitian militia. In his letter he even called President Wilson as a "hypocrite"! These people just don't see that our nation is trying to help them.
