"In Haiti, the dictators are gone, democracy has a new day, the flow of desperate refugees to our shores has subsided." -- Presi

dent Clinton, 1996 State of the Union Address Why was this statement significant to the American public at the time?

Answer:

Clinton's statement in the State of the Union Address of 1996 was important to the American public at the time because the U.S. military had intervened in Haiti to help remove a brutal regime and help the small nation start to implement democracy.

Explanation:

Operation Uphold Democracy was a military operation in Haiti carried out from September 19, 1994 until March 31, 1995, whose objective was to restore democracy by eliminating the de facto military regime, returning the previously elected Aristide regime to power, guarantee security, assist in the rehabilitation of civil administration, form a police and judicial force, help prepare for elections and deliver responsibility to the United Nations for a prior political agreement. Finally, the operation succeeded, the de facto regime was deposed and elections could be held so that Haiti would have a democratic governor.
