François Mackandal, an African-born maroon and organizer associated with a wide anticolonial resistance network, was condemned and executed by French authorities at Cap-Français. Colonial records portrayed him as a poisoner and threat to plantation order. His execution reveals both the scale of resistance and the regime’s effort to terrorize people who challenged enslavement.
