Abstract

The slave issue constitutes a factor of unquestionable importance to understand the successive transformations that took place during the last years of the Spanish rule in Santo Domingo. Although slaves were not determinant for the functioning of the Dominican economy, they played a very important role in the sugar mills and in the cattle ranches, though the latter had a very small number of slaves per unit of exploitation. The legal control mechanisms established by the authorities proved incapable of preventing the progressive deterioration of the slave system, despite the expeditious way in which they repressed the various conspiracies that took place, which were stimulated by the insurrection of the slaves in Saint Domingue and the Haitian revolution. The first independent Dominican state, born in 1821, lacked sufficient social support for not abolishing slavery, which allowed Haiti to occupy Santo Domingo in 1822. [L. A. E. G.]
