Abstract

The article discusses the role of trade between the eastern seaboard of North America and French Saint-Domingue (now Haiti) during the Age of Atlantic Revolutions. The trade between the two regions was significant and had implications for the U.S.-French alliance. The article also explores the role of smuggling and trade statistics in this trade relationship. Additionally, it highlights the financial challenges faced by French officials in Saint-Domingue during the Haitian Revolution and the impact of the demand for grain on colonial government policies. Overall, the article provides valuable insights into the inter-imperial dynamics and economic factors at play during this period. [Extracted from the article]
