1847-February-01: During his mission, Lieutenant Hunt was provided with a specific Haitian decree that ordered the banishment of any foreigner found engaged in commerce with the newly formed Dominican Republic. He was instructed to “use all proper measures” to have any restrictions removed or modified if they were not equally imposed on other foreigners. These orders suggest that the U.S. mission was primarily focused on protecting commercial rights and preventing discriminatory trade practices rather than pursuing immediate territorial designs.
