Inspired by Stories from a Divided Haiti on alternatehistory.com
Haiti and Hispaniola were divided along a east-west line instead of OTL's north-south one for two times in the 19th century: after the demise of the Haitian Empire, the country was divided between the democratic Alexandre Pétion in the south and the autocratic (and self-declared king shortly after) Henry Cristophe in the north. The last time the country was divided was in 1820, when the southern president Jean-Pierre Boyer launched a full-scale unification campaign of the entire island of Hispaniola, ending monarchic rule in north Haiti.
But what if a power struggle prevented Boyer's rise? What would the divided Haiti look like today? This is my scenario.
