The affranchis and French aristocrats decided to leave Haiti after its independence because they faced hostility and discrimination from the newly freed black population. Many feared for their safety and believed they could no longer maintain their privileged status in the country. Additionally, the economic landscape had shifted, making it difficult for them to maintain their wealth and influence in the aftermath of the revolution.
