 Encyclopedia: Saint Domingue
The wealthiest colony in the Caribbean, French Saint Domingue was rightfully considered "the Pearl of the Antilles." On that island was produced almost half of all the sugar and coffee consumed in Europe and the Americas and significant amounts of cotton and indigo.
Therefore, the people of Saint Domingue felt that because they were a French colony that they should be entitled to the same rights as the citizens of France.
They were instead a motley group of individuals from "diverse cultures, speaking different languages and at different stages of assimilation into colonial society." On an average plantation in Saint Domingue, one could likely hear twenty or more different languages being spoken by the slaves.

 The Slave Revolution – Saint-Domingue 1791-1803
However, the same as the conflict of interest between the bourgeois and the monarchy in France opened the space for the action of the Parisian masses, the conflict between the whites and the mulattos of Saint Domingue opened the revolution of the slaves, which broke open on the night of the August 22-23, 1791.
However, before they arrived in Saint Domingue, the Parisian insurrection of August 10 1793 overthrew the monarchy and drove out the representatives of the slave-owning bourgeois.
The instigators of the insurrection met along with their leader Boukman in the forest on the mountain Morne Rouge under the light of torches and the rain of a tropical storm.

Toussaint refused to follow this order, saying: “It is not a circumstantial freedom conceded to ourselves alone that we want.
If there are ill-intentioned men in the colony, if there are those who still have relations with enemy powers, remember BRAVE BLACKS, that the French people alone recognize your freedom and the equality of your rights.

 Atrocities in the French Antilles
Saint Domingue was the richest European colony in the world.
Pierre de Vassière cited a letter written by Gallifet in 1699 in which he mentioned the case of a colonist who shot a slave in Léogane, Saint-Domingue, and was fined 100 livres after eight months of investigation by a judge and the Procureur du Roi, a subordinate of the Procureur Général.
The expression "livre d'amende" was used when fines were imposed, hence "amende." French currencies used in the colonies included coins such as the écu, made of gold and silver, and the sou, made of copper.

One of the most astute commentators, Médéric-Louis-Elie Moreau de Saint-Méry, wrote a massive two-volume work on life in Saint Domingue in the 1780s.
The most important of these colonies was Saint Domingue (later Haiti), which had 500,000 slaves, 32,000 whites, and 28,000 free blacks (which included both blacks and mulattos).
The pioneering feminist and playwright, Olympe de Gouges, also wrote a pamphlet challenging the colonial pro-slavery lobby to improve the lot of the blacks.
