Contrary to what its readers might have expected, the Richmond Enquirer was reluctant to denounce Haiti’s black rulers. The Enquirer diligently reported on US Haitian commerce for the benefit of its readers. Other Democratic-Republican partisans, such as the celebrants at a July Fourth, 1804 Pennsylvania militia muster, voiced support for the Haitians.
