Abstract
At the end of the war, in an atmosphere dampened with defeat, aimless sailors, exiled colonists, and vagabonds of all sorts wandered aimlessly in the chaotic ports where Choiseul chose to load his frigates and fluyts. From May 1763 to April 1765, 37 convoys, 63 ships, with over 10,000 migrants aboard, sailed from Rochefort, Le Havre, Marseille, and Bordeaux.
On the island of Cayenne If you go you can Have butter and bread and Butter and Bread. Chansonnier historique âuXVIIIe siècle1
