The private Zinglins Soulouque raised unleashed the April 1848 massacre
In this episode, we trace how Faustin-Élie Soulouque rose from slavery to the presidency and quietly built parallel forces that shifted power in Haiti. What choices and clandestine moves turned a ceremonial transfer of authority into a violent rupture in April 1848?
Person: Faustin-Élie Soulouque
Date: April 16, 1848
Location: Port-au-Prince, Haiti
Event: Massacre of mulattoes
Organization: Zinglins (private militia)
- Born enslaved in Petit-Goâve on August 15, 1782, Soulouque enlisted as a private in 1800 and rose through military ranks over four decades.
- The Boyerist elite installed him as president on March 2, 1847, perceiving him as a pliable, provincial sixty-four-year-old.
- For eight weeks he kept the existing cabinet while quietly replacing army officers with men loyal to him.
- Soulouque formed the Zinglins, a private militia outside formal military command, and also established a secret police answerable only to him.
- On April 16, 1848, forces under his influence moved through Port-au-Prince, precipitating a massacre that the surviving record sparsely documents.
