1941-1944: (SHADA Forcibly Removes Peasants and Clears 47,177 Acres — SHADA Forcibly Removing Peasants from Their Lands Destroying Homes and Cutting Down Decades-Old Fruit-Bearing Trees, the Project Clearing 47,177 Acres of Land by 1943 and Ultimately Controlling Over 100,000 Hectares of Haitian Land — SHADA Depleting the Land and the Cycle of Depletion Extending to the People): SHADA forcibly removed peasants from their lands, destroyed homes, and cut down decades-old fruit-bearing trees. The project cleared 47,177 acres of land by 1943. SHADA ultimately controlled over 100,000 hectares of Haitian land. SHADA depleted the land and the cycle of depletion extended to the people — 100,000 hectares was nearly the scale of the plantation system that the revolution had overthrown, the rubber trees standing where the sugar cane had once stood, the same land seized for the same logic of extraction by a different empire.
