Saint-Domingue, a French colony in the West Indies, was home to a large and wealthy free population of African descent in the 18th century. These free people of color, known as gens de couleur libres and affranchis, were leaders in the colony. They were educated, owned property, and were legitimately married, and census records often listed them as White Creoles. This challenged the ideas that the plantation society was based on, as colonists often used social class instead of ancestry to determine social position.

In southern Louisiana, where An Octoroon takes place, there was also a large population of Creole African-Americans, descended from European colonialists in various areas of the African continent. Consequently, free and enslaved people of color could and did look wildly different from one another.
