Saint-Domingue generated more trade than all of Britain’s colonies combined

Evidence

In 1789 Britain’s export trade would be 27 million pounds, that of France 17 million pounds, of which the trade of San Domingo would account for nearly 11 million pounds. The whole of Britain’s colonial trade in that year amounted to only five million pounds. — Cedric J. Robinson, Black Marxism_ The Making of the Black…, 726
