Hall Bases Her Study On Research In A Wide Range Of Archival Sources In Louisiana, France, And Spain And Employs Several Disciplineshistory, Anthropology, Linguistics, And Folklorein Her Analysis. Among The Topics She Considers Are The French Slave Trade From Africa To Louisiana, The Ethnic Origins Of The Slaves, And Relations Between African Slaves And Native Indians. She Gives Special Consideration To Race Mixture Between Africans, Indians, And Whites; To The Role Of Slaves In The Natchez Uprising Of 1729; To Slave Unrest And Conspiracies, Including The Pointe Coupee Conspiracies Of 1791 And 1795; And To The Development Of Communities Of Runaway Slaves In The Cypress Swamps Around New Orleans.
