  Atlantic slave trade - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
After entering the sugar colony business late, British naval supremacy and control over key islands such as Jamaica, Trinidad, and Barbados and the territory of British Guiana gave it an important edge over all competitors; while many British did not make gains, some made enormous fortunes, even by upper class standards.
This advantage was reinforced when France lost its most important colony, St.
Dominigue (western Hispaniola, now Haiti), to a slave revolt in 1791 and supported revolts against its rival Britain, after the 1793 French revolution in the name of liberty (but in fact opportunistic selectivity).

Later, Spain recognized France's claim to St. Dominigue, the western third of the island.
In time, the region came to furnish much of the French empire's wealth.
St. Dominigue was so rich that, in 1789, it supplied two-thirds of the overseas trade of France and was the greatest individual market for the European slave trade, noted historian C.L.R. James.

This chaos led to intervention by England and Spain in St. Dominigue.
Dominigue still took advice from France but governed almost entirely as an independent state.
In the 1700's however, the eastern portion was Spanish and called Santo Domingo and the western portion was French and called Saint Dominigue.

 RootsWeb's WorldConnect Project: Descendants of Francis Robbie of Birse, Aberdeen, Scotland
The French (western third) of the island was usually called St. Dominigue (present-day Haiti), while the Spanish (eastern two-thirds) was called St.(or Santo) Domingo (present-day Dominican Republic).
There is a suggestion of a small British settlement in St. Dominigue (at Cape Clanal or Clamal?) and perhaps Elizabeth and Sarah (and Charles?) went there.
The British probably withdrew from St. Domingo because their resources were overstretched and they fell back to defend their own colonies and to reinforce in Europe.

 Acadian Ancestral Home
On April 20, 1756, a Martinique official notified Versailles that a New York bound British ship carrying approximately 300 Acadian deportees from the Port Royal area had been blown off course by winter storms, which had driven the vessel to Antigua which was a British possession in the Leeward Islands.
Unable or unwilling to support the Acadians any longer, the St. Kitts government transported some of the exiles to, and abandoned them at, the Dutch colony of St. Eustatius (called St. Eustache by the French).
Forced by the colonial government to support these unwelcome interlopers, the British consul at St. Eustatius provided the Acadians with food, but in such small quantities that the exiles were forced to turn to private charity to survive.

The St. Dominigue uprising of 1791 also affected Louisiana and the spirit of resistance.
The rebellion caused trade to close between St. Dominigue and Louisiana and after a massive influx of refugees, refugees of color were forbidden to enter Louisiana.
Some believe that the 1795 Point Coupee slave rebellion occurred in response to what happened in St. Dominigue and due to the influence of “rebellious” refugees from the island.

 Simon Eustache Pitre
In 1755, there was a group of Acadians held in the St.
Charles des Mines Church at Grand Pre awaiting deportation.  Amongst the men and boys listed there were two Simon Pitres, an Antoine and a Dominique.  Possibly one of those was Simon Eustache age 38, two others may have been his brother Antoine age 49 and Antoine’s son Simon age 15.  Maybe Dominique was Simon’s son.
Simon’s daughter Marguerite and her husband Joseph Furne were initially deported to New England, and then made their way to Mirebalais, St. Dominigue in the West Indies.  By 1770 Marguerite and her five children were dead at Mirebalais.
