On the Caribbean coast of modern-day Colombia, the important port town of Cartagena rejected Spanish authority, finally declaring independence in 1811. With new leadership that included free people of color, Cartagena welcomed merchants, revolutionaries, and adventurers from Venezuela, the Antilles, the United States, and Europe. Most importantly, independent Cartagena opened its doors to privateers of color from the French Caribbean. Hired mercenaries of the sea, privateers defended Cartagena's claim to sovereignty, attacking Spanish ships and seizing Spanish property, especially near Cuba, and establishing vibrant maritime connections with Haiti. Most of Cartagena's privateers were people of color and descendants of slaves who benefited from the relative freedom and flexibility of life at sea, but also faced kidnapping, enslavement, and brutality. Many came from Haiti and Guadeloupe; some had been directly involved in the Haitian Revolution. While their manpower proved crucial in the early Anti-Spanish struggles, Afro-Caribbean privateers were also perceived as a threat, suspected of holding questionable loyalties, disorderly tendencies, and too strong a commitment to political and social privileges for people of color. Based on handwritten and printed sources in Spanish, English, and French, this book tells the story of Cartagena's multinational and multicultural seafarers, revealing the Trans-Atlantic and maritime dimensions of South American independence."-- $c Provided by publisher. 611 27 $a War of Independence (Colombia : 1810-1822) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01355285 611 27 $a Wars of Independence (Latin America : 1806-1830) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01355307 650 0 $a Privateering $z Caribbean Area $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Privateering $z Latin America $x History $y 19th century. 650 0 $a Slavery $z Caribbean Area $x History. 650 0 $a Pirates $z Caribbean Area $x History. 651 0 $a Cartagena (Colombia) $x History $y 19th century. 651 0 $a Colombia $x History $y War of Independence, 1810-1822. 651 0 $a Caribbean Area $x History, Naval. 651 0 $a Caribbean Area $x History $y 1810-1945. 651 0 $a Latin America $x History $y Wars of Independence, 1806-1830. 650 7 $a HISTORY $x General. $x General. $2 bisacsh 650 7 $a Pirates. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01064776 650 7 $a Privateering. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01077643 650 7 $a Slavery. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01120426 651 7 $a Caribbean Area. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01244080 651 7 $a Colombia. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01205916 651 7 $a Colombia $z Cartagena. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01207341 651 7 $a Latin America. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01245945 648 7 $a 1800-1945 $2 fast 655 7 $a History. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411628 655 7 $a Naval history. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01411632 776 08 $i Online version: $a PeÌrez Morales, Edgardo. $t No limits to their sway. $d Nashville : Vanderbilt University Press, 2018 $z 9780826521934 $w (DLC) 2017052765 941 $a 1 952 $l USUX851 $d 20210707015551.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=1183671C688611E8A317244297128E48 994 $a 92 $b IWAInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
