The Coloreds and Saint Domain

The coloreds held this post for three days, until santenax was able to reassert control of le cap. He made an outright alliance with the free colored leadership and allowed them to form totally independent military units. With rochambeau gone, he elevated colonel etienne levax to take on overall command of the colony's military forces in the north province. Colonel levax came from minor nobility and was a career army officer. His only claim to fame prior to his arrival in san doman was his very willingness to go to san doman.
