GUADELOUPE

In 1793, British occupiers of Guadeloupe were forced to leave the islands by a superior force of pro-Revolution French under the leadership of Victor Hugues, a radical French commissioner. He freed the slaves in the name of the French Revolution and dealt with the white planters in a vindictive manner. With this turn of events, French planters on the islands probably considered asking the British to return. This map, perhaps related to that proposal, evidently served as a presentation piece to the British. It is dedicated "A son Excellance Sir Ralph Abercromby Chevalier de L'ordre du Bain, Lieutenant General et Commandant En chef les Troupes de Sa Mayesté Britanique aux Indes Occidental &c".
