📅 1791: Concordat between the whites of the National Guard of Port-au-Prince and the free mulattos:
In this document signed at the Croix des Bouquets by the representatives of both parties, following
repeated attacks by the mulattos against the interests of the French colonists, the whites promised
to recognize and respect the rights of citizens of color by promising them not to
to oppose the execution of national decrees that were favorable to them.
The men of color from several parishes in Saint Domingue, inspired by this concordat,
forced the settlers of their region to follow the example of their Western counterparts.
