Lysius Salomon’s plan as Haiti's president is to restart public education, fix Haiti's financial woes, restore agriculture productivity, improve the army, and to fix the public administration.

He had established the National Bank within four months, and he resumes debt payments to France by 1880.

The last two decades of the nineteenth century will also be marked by the development of a Haitian intellectual culture.

Major works of history had been published in 1847 and 1865.

Haitian intellectuals, led by Louis-Joseph Janvier and Anténor Firmin, engage in a war of letters against a tide of racism and Social Darwinism that emerges during this period.
