Beautiful video, but it mentions free blacks as a danger to slavery. The problem is that slavery was really racial, but matrilineal. You had a whole bunch of gens de colour livre and creoles who were not considered Black, but where fully aware they were Afrodescendants and didn't consider themselves White either. In fact, many owned slaves as well.

Wow! What wonderful vintage film!
I love the shots of the second line dancing. My only regret is that this clip is so short.
Thanks for sharing this with the world.
