WHITE AS WELL AS FREE COLORED AND SLAVES ENTERED LOUISIANA FROM HAITI CALLED SANTO DOMINGO
1807 - 1808 - 1809
In the years 1807, 1808 and 1809 several thousand (10,000) white, as well as free blacks and colored, and slaves, were admitted from Santo Domingo into Louisiana, then a territory under the name of Orleans Territory, and administered under the Governorship of W. C. C. Claiborne.
Due to revolt led by Christophe in Haiti against the French, plantation owners with their labor fled from Santo Domingo to Cuba and then to the United States entering New Orleans and Mobile.
