AC3L-Machete

A Machete

A machete is a broad blade designed as a hacking tool which can double as a short, combat weapon. Its primary function is to cut through dense foliage or for use in other hard labor environments.

Accordingly, the machete is a common implement in tropical regions, such as the Caribbean where it served as the signature weapon of the Maroons, escaped slaves who rebelled against the European colonial class.

History[]

With the rise of the profitable sugar-cane industry in the Caribbean and coastal colonies such as Louisiana, machetes became widely used on sugar plantations throughout the region, and as such were easily acquired by both Adéwalé[1] and Aveline de Grandpré in areas where slavery was prominent.[2]

Adéwalé found his first machete shortly after washing ashore in Port-au-Prince, Saint Domingue, and promptly used it to cut down an overseer chasing after an escaped slave.[3] Throughout his travels, Adéwalé would eventually come to own a number of machetes, varying in lethal capability and appearance, which he used frequently in combat. These blades were larger and broader than a normal machete, making them ideal for attacking overseers and French soldiers alike, and were stored in a sling across Adéwalé's back when not in use.[1]

In the French territory of Louisiana, Aveline would occasionally use a specialized sugar-cane machete in combat. This wider, heavier weapon could be displayed openly while Aveline was in her slave disguise without arousing any suspicion. A longer, more streamlined machete was also available for purchase at any general store in New Orleans.[2]
