Publisher's Synopsis
""An Inquiry Into The Causes Of The Insurrection Of The Negroes In The Island Of St. Domingo"" is a historical book written by Jean-Philippe Garran De Coulon in 1792. The book provides a detailed account of the slave revolt that took place in the French colony of Saint-Domingue (present-day Haiti) in 1791.

He also explores the role of various groups, such as the mulattoes and free people of color, in the uprising. The book provides a critical perspective on the events that led to the insurrection and the subsequent establishment of Haiti as an independent nation. It also sheds light on the complex social and political dynamics of the time, including the relationship between France and its colonies, and the tensions between different racial and social groups in Saint-Domingue. Overall, ""An Inquiry Into The Causes Of The Insurrection Of The Negroes In The Island Of St. Domingo"" is an important historical document that provides valuable insights into the history of slavery and colonialism in the Caribbean.To Which Are Added, Observations Of M.
