U.S. Occupation of Haiti: 1915-1934- Using dLOC to Teach
www.dloc.com
As opposition mounted, a provincial leader, Charlemagne Péralte, mobilized a peasant army, which the American military tried to suppress.
Excerpt from “Peralte and the Cacos”Yveline Alexis, PhD, Oberlin College
• At first, Péralte utilized tactful and non-aggressive means to oppose the occupation
• After serving time in prison on charges drawn up by the United States Marines, Péralte [escaped]
• Under Péralte’s leadership, the cacos increased attacks in and around the capital city.
• And on 3 October 1919, US Marines killed Péralte and many other cacos displaying his body to discourage other opposition.
• Péralte and his struggles are still remembered to this day

The Caco Outbreak from McCormick’s 1922 Congressional Inquiry into the occupation and administration of Haiti and the Dominican Republic
Highlights
• Péralte was a man of local prominence in the mountains in the North
• Arrested for attempted robbery of US Captain Doxey; forced to do convict street labor
• Péralte recuited professional and habitual revolutionaries
• Resentment against corvee (forced unpaid labor) made recruitment easier; Outbreak was as much organized banditry as revolutionary
• Péralte was killed in late 1919 and another leader, Benoit, in 1920, breaking the back of the rebellion
