- W2491260326 abstract "In his Historical Account of the Black Empire of Hayti (1805), Marcus Rainsford, a British captain in the Third West India Regiment, described Saint-Domingue as ‘France’s most splendid possession’, astonishing the traveller with its ‘private luxury, and its public grandeur’.1 The richest and most productive of the eighteenth-century West Indian islands, Saint-Domingue produced half the world’s coffee and sugar. But while European politicians ‘sighed for her possession … they sighed in vain; she was reserved for the foundation of a republic as extraordinary as it is terrible, whether it ultimately tend only, to the ascertainment of abstract opinions, or unfold a new and august empire to the world’.2 In August 1791, the beginnings of this republic were laid when the island’s plantation slaves rose up against the white planters. By September 1791 rebellious slaves had set alight the erstwhile capital of Le Cap, and for the next dozen years Saint-Domingue became a byword for civil war, racial hatred, and horrific violence. While the initial uprisings of 1791 obliged the revolutionary French Republic to abolish slavery in the colonies in 1794, Napoleon revoked the decree in 1802, sending a large force under his brother-in-law General Leclerc to crush the uprisings and reintroduce slavery. The Francophobe Rainsford captured the horror of this blood-soaked war with some graphic engravings of the viciousness of the French in their dealings with the rebel blacks." @default.
