1799-June-13: A formal tripartite convention was signed between Dr. Stevens, General Maitland, and Toussaint Louverture to regulate the reopening of commerce. The agreement designated specific ports, such as Cap Français and Port-au-Prince, where American and British vessels could safely trade. Toussaint solemnly pledged that no privateers would be permitted to sail from these ports to prey upon Anglo-American shipping. In return, the United States and Great Britain agreed to lift their respective naval blockades and allow essential provisions to enter the colony. This convention created a unique “neutralized” zone in the Caribbean during the height of the broader European conflict.
