Abstract

Between 1794 and 1802, nearly 3,000 people flee Guadeloupe, after the recapture of the island by the Republicans. These are the planters and their family members. They are mainly sugar producers, the largest landowners and slaves in the colony. Parallel to this emigration, slavery is abolished. The abandoned properties are now managed by the Republican authorities. They will use the escrow system and then leasing. Unlike the metropolis, the goods of the emigrants are not put on sale. On their return, they regain possession of their lands and their slaves, when slavery is re-established. They found themselves with plantations in poor condition and are heavily indebted.
