1850-June-01: As part of his negotiations, Green presented a claim for $500,000 as a “compromise” for various sums owed to American citizens. The Haitian authorities requested a fifteen-day delay to examine the evidence, claiming they had no prior knowledge of these specific financial obligations. Green granted this extension only on the strict condition that the Haitian government formally recognize American commercial agents as consuls. This demand was a strategic move to secure a higher level of official recognition for American representatives without a formal treaty of recognition for the state itself.
