Republic of Haiti, 1806
General Pétion was proclaimed president of the south and western part of Haiti on 19 March 1807. Pétion changed his blue-red vertical flag back to the horizontal configuration of 1804. He added a white rectangle with the country's arms: a Palm tree surmounted by the Phrygian liberty cap, flags and cannons and the motto “L'UNION FAIT LA FORCE” (Unity makes Strength). This flag has endured throughout the 19th and 20th Century, with minor changes in the arms and the size of the white rectangle.
