265 p, Chapter 2 entitled "Saint-Domingue in Louisiana? Slave Resistance, White Hysteria, and a Fledgling Slave Regime" argues that comparisons of Louisiana’s aborted 1795 slave conspiracy to the revolution in Saint -Domingue is overblown. "In short, Pointe Coupée was no Saint-Domingue, which underscored what would have been surprising to whites in Louisiana in 1795: because of, and in some cases, in spite of, their convulsive policies, they had built a relatively stable slave society."
