These attempts or rebellions had as a note distinctive that transcended the mere act of liberation limited group or search for particular claims characteristics of the palenques or manieles maroons.

These movements had several greater objectives which included the overthrow of colonial rule, the elimination of whites, the implementation of racial equality or a union with Saint-Domingue.

With this background, the conspiracies of this first moment The state of anxiety and fear had remained everpresent since the incidents of El Negro Comegente, which further overwhelmed Dominican slave owners.

In 1793, Don Pedro Vasquez, denounced an alleged rebellion plan by the slaves of Hincha, one of the Spanish towns closest to the Dominican-Haitian border.

The story began with a free black man named Dimini, who was declared captain of the insurrection of the revolt through a letter written by "San Fransua," as told by Jean-François Papillon, who since 1792 fought against France under the flag of Spain.

The regent of the Royal Hearing in Santo Domingo, Jose Antonio de Urizar, in November 1795, indicated his concern about the presence of French commissioners who:[11] "(...) have scattered various printed papers, and have also tried to extend by word of mouth that the slaves that are found in the Spanish possessions since the present Those owned by the Republic must be free without any distinction, and these propositions have made them spread by themselves, and through other French people so that they understand them our slaves.

They were counting on adding "the black ones that would fly from the neighboring Haciendas upon hearing the sound of Liberty and the extermination of the whites.” The rebellious slaves intended to establish a government "like that of Guarico and others of the French Part.

For instance, Ana Maria, an enslaved woman, "more attended and distinguished by her lord, she offered herself to be the murderer and was the constituted Queen in the disorder, corresponding with entertainment and gifts.

"[17] Furthermore, he suggested that the rebellion had a lot of sympathy, since there were sectors among the slaves, naturally, and among the French people who left in defense of the accused can be interpreted in his description of the day the sentence was handed down:[18] "The day of justice was frightening and not taking measures capable of containing so many black people, both free and slave, and so many foreigners adhering to freedom and equality, closing the doors, establishing patrols, putting on weapons all the Guards and czen cattlemen For the execution, the troops were all ready in the barracks with the officers and in a word alert the entire garrison, we could having experienced a shock of the kind that has the island has been theater in its vicinity and feasible in a city that counts one year and four months of cessation to the French Republic.

Dominican historians who have studied the subject agree that in the area around the Nizao River, Toussaint's troops destroyed in combat the weak resistance that tried to oppose them.

When the news reached Santo Domingo, the Spanish had managed to drive the French out of Bánica and Las Caobas, taking advantage of a defeat suffered by Toussaint Luoverture against English troops in Saint-Domingue.

It provides that the squares, ports and establishments were to be handed over to the French with the cannons, war ammunition and necessary effects for their defence, which they had at the time when news of the negotiations became known.

Historian José Gabriel García described a fairly complex situation in which the Dominicans, according to their interests, sometimes took sides favor of Toussaint, others of France and, from 1804, against the Haitians.

An illustrative example of this situation occurred at the beginning of 1802 when residents of the city of Santo Domingo organized under the direction of Juan Baron to assault the fort of San Gil and facilitate the French landing that sought to remove Toussaint from power.

Garcia noted that: "Commander Marquis, who had the Haitians as chief in the stronghold of Haina, he made efforts to agitate the slaves of Los Ingenios, in order to increase their numbers and would allow him to become strong.

"20 Perhaps as a result of these efforts, in that year of 1802, recently Once slavery was reestablished, there was an uprising of slaves in the Haciendas Camba Abajo and Camba Arriba in San Cristóbal, area of sugar mills and haciendas, close to where the rebellion of Boca de Nigua had taken place five years earlier, once again, as a result of high concentration of slaves.

The Haitians fell back through the settled area of the interior, sacking the towns of Monte Plata, Cotui and La Vega, and slaughtering the citizens of Moca and Santiago.

[9] The French invasion of Spain in March 1808 had great consequences throughout the Americas, and Santo Domingo was no exception, since in that same year various sectors proposed the separation of France and began to work to this.

During the War of Reconquest, there were important contacts between Dominican and Haitian leaders in view of the fact that Haiti had been divided into two parts in 1806: Alexandre Petion in the South and East Departments and Henri Christophe in the North.

From Petion, the Dominicans received 40 boxes of cartridges, four thousand flint stones and one hundred halberds that were used by the men under the direction of Ciriaco Ramirez.

These were brought by Brigadier Jose Campos Tavares who expressed that he wanted do this service to King Ferdinand VII[21]"desiring for trade to be opened between the two colonies, regarding the peace and union that reigns between the Dominicans and the Haitians."

The Reconquista did not reflect the unanimous feeling of the majority of Dominicans and in the first four years at least one conspiracy occurred annually and this points out the complexity of interests, influences and expectations of the moment.
