St. Lucia and the French Revolution

Easter, B. H., St. Lucia and the French Revolution, The Tom Ferguson Memorial Lecture, Castries, St. Lucia: The Voice Publishing Co., 1965.

From Wikipedia:

When the French Revolution occurred, a revolutionary tribunal was sent to Saint Lucia, headed by captain La Crosse. Prior to this, the slaves had heard about the revolution and walked off their jobs in 1790-1791 to work for themselves. Bringing the ideas of the revolution to Saint Lucia, La Crosse set up a guillotine used to execute Royalists. In 1794 the French governor of the island declared that all slaves were free, as also happened In Saint-Domingue. However, the decree was unevenly carried out.

Les Cultures a Sainte-Lucie a la Fin du XVIIIe Siecle (separata)

Debien, Gabriel, Les Cultures a Sainte-Lucie a la Fin du XVIIIe Siecle, Extrait du Annales des Antilles, Année 1966.

Extraits:

L'intérêt de son mémoire est de présenter un aperçu sur l'evolution des cultures à Sainte Lucie au cours du dernier quart du XVIIIe siècle, en même temps que des réflexions générales sur le développement des autres îles françaises: la progression à peu près continue des plantations caféières malgré les crises, et le soudain essor du coton. Ses conclusions veulent être remplies de sagesse. Elles restent en peu théoriques: c'est un essai d'économie politique.
(…)
Mémoire sur les cultures de l'ile de Sainte-Lucie contenant des observations sur les productions qui servent a la nourriture des negres; les denrées commerciales des iles du vent, leurs produits, les nouvelles cultures introduites dans les colonies et sur les moyens de les faire réussir.

The interest in this memoire is to present an overview of the evolution of Saint Lucia crops during the last quarter of the eighteenth century, together with general reflections on the development of other French islands progression, almost continuous, of coffee plantations despite the crises and the sudden rise of cotton. Its conclusions are filled with wisdom. They remain somewhat theoretical: it is a test of political economy.
(…)
