- Lot Description
A self covering one page letter, written by Fred’k Shinckle Jun’r., to his father Mr. Frederick Shinckle, hand delivered by favor of Mr. Garlick Fland, Brig Commerce. Datelined: Cape Francois, Nov. 2, (17)91 (note: Cape Francois is on the north coast of Haiti). In full, Honored Father, I inform you by this of our safe arrival after a passage of twenty two days. In good health hoping this may find you the same & all the family. Markets are very loe. Flour sells for four dollars and a dull sale at that price. The island is in great distress. The Negroes have burnt, destroyed & killed all around the inhabitants and Americans are oblige to get out upon duty. The times are risky so how they;ll make out, God only knows. I expect we shall sail. If we don’t sail ... next week for America. By the bearer I have sent you a basket oranges, the best I could get ....†George Schickle Jr. and Frederick Shincle (also spelled Schenckel or Shinkel) were Jewish German immigrants who arrived in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, aboard the ship Janet on September 16, 1751. From the 1790 Federal Census: heads of households were named, and other residents were categorized by age, sex, and status. Frederick Shinkle is listed in Philadelphia with one enslaved person in his household. The 1791 slave rebellion was a slave rebellion in the French colony of Saint-Domingue which sparked the Haitian Revolution. Unlike previous rebellions, French colonial authorities were unable to suppress it, and the rebellion eventually led to the abolition of slavery in the colony. The revolt was notable for being one of the only slave rebellions in history to succeed. Jean-François Papillon was born in Africa but was enslaved and taken in captivity to the North Province of Saint-Domingue, where he worked in the plantation of Papillon in the last decades of the 18th Century. He escaped from that plantation and became a maroon, when the revolution started on August 22, 1791, he led the initial uprising of enslaved workers and later allied with Spain against the French. Within one week, the rebels had destroyed 1,800 plantations and killed their former slaveholders
