A peace agreement between white citizens and citizens of color in the western province was marked at Damiens on 23 October 1791. It reflected the pressure free people of color had exerted against exclusion and the uneasy coalitions forming in the colony. The agreement concerned rights and security among free groups; it did not abolish slavery, and its terms did not erase divergent interests or the coercion imposed on enslaved people.
