Abolitionists were pressing to end the African
slave trade.
As sugar planters fled from the revolution in Haiti, some
moved to Cuba's Oriente Province, others to North
America-to Louisiana. By the time the Haitian
plantation owners and overseers reached New Orleans,
abolitionists were pressing to end the African slave trade.

enslaved people kept rising even after the slave trade was
abolished. That was because enough enslaved children
were born, lived, and grew to become adults. There was
just one exception to this rule: Louisiana, where the
native-born enslaved population kept dropping. Sugar
