By this time, Mandeville also had many marchandes (sales-women) working for her. The court's witnesses stressed the number of these women, suggesting that it was quite unusual for a female free Black vendor to have so many of them selling in the streets. .... As Latrobe noticed, it was not the fashion for Creole ladies to go out in the streets to do their shopping. Thus, many of the marchandes provided a door-to-door service as well as selling in the market. He wrote: 'Women, chiefly black women, are met carrying baskets upon their heads and calling at the doors of houses. These baskets contain assortments of dry goods, sometimes, to appearance, to a considerable amount.' However, this was probably more applicable to the selling habits of Mandeville's marchandes.A few additional brief mentions of the role of marchandes in this woman's business.
However, the sheer demographic numbers of enslaved Africans in Louisiana are convincing in this context. They reveal that Louisiana, unlike Cuba and Haiti, received hardly any enslaved Yoruba or Dahomeyans (Hall, 1992). New Orleans's African population was Kongo dominated with a strong affinity with the spirits of the dead. Nago people arrived only during the Spanish colonial rule in a significant number, many of whom were females specifically "imported" to run the city's markets as vendeuses or marchandes (market women).
But the story was more complex than a simple situation of long-term sexual liaison between two people. Lacaze was a peddler by trade, and he had officially purchased Carmélite as a marchande, a merchant woman, who would take care of his business affairs while he was away. He had, as the law prescribed, "put his slave in a shop" in his stead while he traveled to France. In this arrangement, Carmélite traded goods from a room in the Burgundy street house during his absence...
Adelaide had left his household by 1801 to become a marchande (woman trader) in the town of Port de Paix, Saint-Domingue.
Marie Catherine Baudreau, Widow Gervais, was never once, in life or death, granted the designation of marchande. This title was only applied to a handful of female merchants in Louisiana from the early 1760s onward.
Marketing was a long-standing slave activity. It is mentioned in decrees of 1664 and 1677 (Louis-Élie Moreau de Saint-Méry, Loix et constitutions, op. cit., vol. I, p. 120-21, 306-307), and the Code Noir, Art. XIX and XXIX, elaborated on these, seeking to regulate slave retailing, including settlement of debts. Typically, slave retailing was carried out on a master's orders or at least with his permission as embodied in a signed pass (cf. Art. XIX: « permission expresse de leurs maîtres par un billet ou par des marques connues »), but the Code foresaw slave selling even « en cas que leurs maîtres n'aient donné aucun ordre et ne les aient point préposés » (Art. XXIX). Many advertisements in Affiches Américaines boasted that a slave offered for sale was a « marchand » or « marchande », indicating that marketing skills were considered a valuable attribute among the enslaved. Cf. Affiches Américaines, 20 May 1767, p. 160: « Une Négresse, nommée Louison, très-bonne marchande… Cette Négresse a vendu des marchandises en pacotille, pendant toute la guerre & depuis la paix, tant dans la Plaine du Cap, que dans celle de l'Artibonite ».
