The Môle Saint-Nicolas affair was an 1891 diplomatic incident between Haiti and the United States when in an act of gunboat diplomacy, President of the United States Benjamin Harrison ordered Rear-Admiral Bancroft Gherardi to persuade the cessation or lease of Môle Saint-Nicolas to the United States in order to establish a naval base for the United States Navy. Following a prolonged request for Gherardi's diplomatic credentials and increased public pressure, Haiti refused the request of the United States.

quote
  • These writers, such as [Frederick Douglass] ... , assume to consider Haiti as a responsible member of the family of nations. The world knows what she is and the world is rarely altogether wrong. ... It is absurd to talk of the law to a nation which has no respect for law or its prcedents, and the sooner the people of that island are given to understand this the better it will be for all concerned. The United States has exercised rare forbearance and leniency to Haiti. She can afford to, but there is a limit, and Haiti has almost reached it. (en)
