The Dominican Peasant Uprising

Trujillo's men rounded up Haitians, and initiated deportation proceedings against them. Once the paperwork was done, the Dominican government had proof that the Haitians had been sent back to Haiti. The Haitians were then transported like cattle to isolated killing grounds, where soldiers slaughtered them at night,. Soldiers carried the corpses to the Atlantic port at Monte Cristi, and threw the bodies to the sharks. For days, the waves carried uneaten body parts back onto Hispaniola's beaches.
