The Colonial Assembly

This assembly convened in april 17 90 in the city of sain mark, which was in the west province and roughly equidistanc from lecamp and porta prince. This meant that the small whites were now in, while the free colords were out. The big whites had decided to throw their lot in with the poor whites, rather than the propertied coloreds. And it was a decision that many would soon regret. Some arrived cautioning against sending signals that they were aiming for independence, but the majority brushed off those concerns.
