Saint-Domingue's free blacks protest their second-class status.

Beginning in the 1770s, the white colonists impose laws that preclude blacks from being called "mister," from wearing certain clothes, or from sitting wherever they like in churches and theaters.

The free blacks want equal rights with whites, and most of all the right to hold citizenship and to own slaves.
