    Olive Patricia DickasonCHAPTEREuropean and Non-European…2019

    In 1791 the French Caribbean colony of Saint-Domingue became the site of the only successful slave uprising in the history of the New World. As the French Revolution reshaped the political and social institutions of the mother country, Saint-Domingue&s;s free people of color, led by an indigo planter from the island&s;s southern peninsula, began a campaign for civil reform that helped destabilize colonial slave society.

  • The Myth of the Noble Savage

    Olive Patricia DickasonREVIEWJournal of American History2002

    The persistence of the concept of the noble savage as it evolved during the first four centuries of French and English colonization of the Americas is easier to trace out than it is to explain.

Nowhere was this change more evident than along the Atlantic coast, where French peninsular Acadia was transformed into English Nova Scotia, while Ile Royale…
