| Résumé anglais |
In the late eighteenth century, the French Caribbean colony of Saint-Domingue was ravaged by a slave rebellion which entailed the flight of thousands of people. The object of this essay is to study the migration of Saint-Domingans to the South of the United States and more particularly to Louisiana, as well as its peculiarities and influences on the society of the territory. The main focus will be on the political integration of the refugees, and on the role they played in Louisiana politics. Given the peculiarity of this incoming population, an assessment of the degree of integration achieved requires an analysis of factors other than the usual criteria of naturalization, citizenship, and the granting of voting rights.
