To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
" Thus had it been beaten into their politic heads that a better use could be made of the half million black people, over whom the fifty thousand white and yellow pretended proprietors had been fighting, than cutting off their ears, printing M's on their skins with hot iron, and keeping them suisservient chattels to the said proprietors.
Many of the more moderate and reasonable white slaveholders began to be of the same opinion. The national assembly had so enlarged the powers of the civil comm...issioners that they could act on the question of slavery, according to their own interpretation of their instructions, if it became necessarj-. But almost immediately aft€r the troubles of the Cape, before they could act in concert, they were obliged to separate, Polverel going to the West. There he found the Spaniards exerting such an influence on the revolted slaves, that without waiting for the concurrence of Sonthonax (Ailhaud had returned to France) he issued a proclamation on the 27th August, 1793, giving not only liberty to all revolted slaves who would return to labor, but, by a sort of agrarian law, dividing among them the estates of planters that had become vacant.
