[edit] Summary
This picture of the corpse of Charlemagne Péralte was taken by the USMC in order to demoralize the Haitian population.
The christlike position of the corpse and the fact that the nationalist leader had been betrayed and murdered at the age of 33 started the legend of a national hero.
