ARRÊTÉ DU CONSEIL SUPÉRIEUR DE SAINT-DOMINGUE. EXTRAIT DES REGISTRES DU CONSEIL SUPÉRIEUR DE SAINT-DOMINGUE [caption title]. An edict issued by the Council of Saint Domingue at Port-au-Prince but lacking the ratification of the Royal governor or the National Assembly. This was another step in the movement for independence by the white planters of Saint Domingue and the efforts of France to keep control of her colony. While the French Revolution raged in Europe, the people of Saint Domingue struggled with their conflicts between the large and small planter classes and the free "men of color."
