1793-Nov.: Pedro Bailly faced a second trial in Louisiana after being accused of general insubordination and promoting “diabolical ideas of freedom and equality”. Testimony revealed that Bailly had lectured fellow officers at the fort in Plaquemines about the French Republic “granting men their rights”. He argued that because all people are human, color should not differentiate citizens or rank under the government. Governor Carondelet, viewing this behavior as symptomatic of deep-seated sedition, ordered Bailly’s deportation to a Havana prison. Bailly remained confined in Cuba with other political prisoners until the end of the war with France.
