Commentary
La loge Saint Louis de la Martinique des frères réunis est une loge créée en 1761 et est un des trois ateliers "américains" de Paris, qui recrutaient parmi les planteurs esclavagistes et autres colons des Antilles et de la Louisiane qui partageaient leurs vies entre les deux côtés de l'Atlantique. Elle continue son activité durant la Révolution en passant un concordat avec les Amis de la Liberté. Son activité cesse vers 1814 pour reprendre de 1817 à 1853. La datation retenue de 1811 est celle donnée par Bramsen.

Historical background
MARTINIQUE
Initially populated by the Arawaks and then by the Caribbean, Martinique was discovered in 1502 by Christopher Columbus on his fourth voyage. In 1635, a first colony was established there in the name of the King of France and the Compagnie des Îles d'Amérique. The extension of the plantations led to the eradication of the indigenous Arawak populations. Towards the middle of the 17th century, the tobacco crisis ruined the small white planters and permanently installed an economy based on the monoculture of sugar cane in the hands of rich planters. Those in search of cheap labor turn to slavery. Between 1794 and 1802, then between 1809 and 1814, the Island was occupied by the English. In 1848, slavery was abolished. Planters then resort to indenture. Competing with beet production, this mono-industry was in crisis at the end of the 19th century. In 1902, the eruption of Mount Pelée completely destroyed the town of Saint-Pierre, killing 30,000 people. In 1946, the Island became an Overseas Department.
