Alexandre de Vincent de Mazade acted as governor-general again in the summer of 1789, as news of the French Revolution reached the colony. The tenure fell in the turbulent first years of the French Revolution, when white colonists, free people of colour and the enslaved clashed over the meaning of liberty and equality.
