| Résumé anglais |
This paper tries to explain why the articles concerning slavery and freedom in the first Constitution of Haïti were omitted when the text appeared in the Richmond Enquirer on July 23, 1805. The sources of the editor are not to be blamed. There are two reasons for his deliberate omissions : as a Republican supporter, he downplayed the contradictions of his party (which the missing articles highlighted) ; as a Southerner, he adopted the new consensus imposing silence about slavery. By truncating the original text, he heralded the official censorship that was soon to pervade the South. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
