A Perfect Storm
View through CrossRef
In 1817, following the Bourbon Restoration, the French crown attempted to reform the Isle Bourbon judiciary, dominated by creole men from island’s planter elite. The man sent to spearhead the reforms, the liberal attorney general Louis Gilbert Boucher, immediately came into conflict with Philippe Panon Desbassayns, the creole commissioner general of Isle Bourbon. Furcy and Constance realized the opportunity to challenge Furcy’s enslavement to Joseph Lory and initiated a freedom suit. Following instructions by Boucher and Jacques Sully Brunet, a young, creole, Paris-trained lawyer, Furcy initiated his emancipation by exiting his master’s property and declaring himself a free man.
