  • Papa doc even practiced voodoo.
  • Bebe threw people in prison if they opposed him.

SOCIAL DOWNFALL

  • The Tontons the Duvaliers own army made everyone live in fear.
  • The whole Haiti wanted a coup on the government.
  • Many Haitians were in persecution and others who stayed were killed.
  • But only political opponents, not everyone.
