are established at this present, and that they shall inhabit
the entire coast (actually: side)
which faces Anguilla; St martin North

Where is the border ?
From 1648 to the late 1700's
= 150 years of border uncertainty
Because of wars between
France England Spain Portugal Holland
The island changed owners many times
1810-1816 was the last occupation by England
Today, The border has been stable since
The early 1800's, (which is about 200 years),
except for one area.
OYSTER POND
Where is the border ?
OYSTER POND BAY
Where should the border to be ?
From 1648 to the late 1700's
= 150 years of border uncertainty
DURING THAT TIME...
...SLAVERY IS IN FULL SWING
The economy of those days needed plenty work
force, as free or cheap as possible
● First for tobacco and indigo
● A lot for cotton
● And even more for cane
●
(properties were separated by slave walls...)
● Then for salt, long after slavery was abolished
Remnants of the past industries...
Cotton
trees
can
still be
seen
on
road
sides
● "Lorsque le moment est venu de la récolte, on dispose en frontière
du champ, un rang de nègres munis de serpes et ils avancent en
ligne en disposant derrière eux les cannes coupées en deux ou
trois morceaux. Ces derniers sont ramassés et liés en paquets qui
sont chargés à leur tour sur des charrettes qui les portent aux
moulins. Ceux-ci servent à broyer la canne pour en extraire le suc.
Ils sont mus soit par l'eau, le vent ou les bœufs.
Cutting cane on Saint-Martin in the 1700's
Picking salt
Salt pond
Up to early 60's Fish pond
Baie de l'embouchure
Became « Lamijot bay »
then Galion beach
SLAVERY DAYS
SLAVE WALLS
(Colombier)
Most of the plantation and slave owners were english settlers, invited by the french,
in order to boost the economy. In exchange they got free land. That is how the
enslaved, then the free people of sint marten created the sint marten english.
ABOLITION OF SLAVERY
(different then elsewhere)
England (Anguilla) =
1833
France (St martin) =
1848
Holland (sint maarten)
= 1863
7 km or 4 miles15 years
15 years
Up to 1946
● After World War 2 (39-45) France is destroyed.
● Its colonies are suffering even more.
● Saint-Martin North is a Colony of France
- Just like Guadeloupe and Martinique
- Tax laws, social benefits are not the same
- Aimé Césaire, elected to the parliement of
France, demands social justice for the colonies.
1946 - 2007
Aimé Cesaire's1946 law transforms
Saint-Martin into a commune of the
departement of Guadeloupe
● We have rights to all national benefits (CAF,
etc... But...
The center of all decisions is in Guadeloupe,
and sint marteners don't have a say.
Since 2007
Saint-Martin is an autonomous overseas territory
of the french republic (with limited autonomy)
● Saint-Martin, for instance, is responsible for:
- fiscal matters (taxes...)
- transportation (taxis and buses, driving licences)
- urban affairs (building permit...)
● The State of France control, for instances :
- The teachers and what they teach
- The judicial system
- all international affairs
