Saint-Domingue plantations mixed many distinct African peoples

Evidence

The slave population of one indigo plantation in the Western Province reflected the broader history of the slave trade: among its 92 slaves were 10 older Arada and 29 recently purchased Kongos. On one sugar plantation in the Southern Province there was a bewildering array of African groups: out of the 348 slaves, 58 were Kongos, 28 Ibos, 55 Nagos, 13 Bambara, 25 Arada, 23 Mines, 13 Morriquis, and 16 Sosos; there were smaller groups of Thiabas, Bobo, Mondongues, Senegals, Mocos, Hausa, Tacouas, and Yolofs (Wolofs). On another sugar plantation owned by the same man, of 439 slaves 112 were Kongos, 64 Aradas, 40 Nago, 9 Bambara, and smaller numbers of several other groups. — Dubois, Laurent, Avengers of the New World_ The Story of…, 153
