Death of the French Atlantic

Trade, War, and Slavery in the Age of Revolution

Beschreibung

War, revolution, and anti-slavery were the three major forces which led to the dramatic decline of France's Atlantic empire with the loss of her richest Caribbean colony, Saint-Domingue. Alan Forrest draws a rich portrait of France's Atlantic communities in this tumultuous period, and the uneasy legacy of the French slave trade.
