Excerpt from Reminiscences of the Insurrection in St. Domingo
Never was there a truer paragraph penned than this, and never were the rights, the properties, and the lives of a people more wantonly sported with than were those of the whites of St. Domingo under the reign of the last commissioners.
But to begin at the beginning, I must go back to the time when I first took up my residence in this island and give a Short account of the general situation of its inhabitants, and of the relations of the planters and Slaves to each other. I state no fictions for the purpose of making an impression, but simple facts, all of which were well known to myself, as many of them passed under my own eye, and those that did not were matters of notoriety throughout the country. Indeed, such was their nature and such were the effects they produced on me at the time, that they are as fresh and as visible to my mind's eye now as they were then to my natural and unimpaired vision.
