The Caribbean islands have a lot in common. We have free villages here in Jamaica as well. They were townships established in the wake of full freedom from slavery and apprenticeship in 1838. For eg Sligoville, Sturge Town, and Maidstone to name a few #relics of slavery

Tell her also that some of the Slaves at Mount Wilton plantation found out that they would have recieved money after the death of the owner. They decided to kill him and slit his throat when he was in bed. His relatives argued that the Slaves were not entitled to the money but the Court awarded them the money and they bought land at Rock Hall. Land was also bought at Bridgefield, St Thomas.

[@vittmanvittman4915]

Do give us the gory details that only you(?) seem to know...

[@VlogginTherapy]

Yup Willie Lynch

[@vittmanvittman4915]

@@VlogginTherapy _"The William Lynch speech, also known as the Willie Lynch letter, is an address purportedly delivered by a William Lynch (or Willie Lynch) to an audience on the bank of the James River in Virginia in 1712 regarding control of slaves within the colony. In recent years, it has been widely exposed as a hoax._ _In the Death of Willie Lynch Speech, Professor Manu Ampim exposes the myth of Willie Lynch. Ampim does this by documenting the 20th century origin and fraudulent history of the "Willie Lynch Speech" and speculating, correctly, about the author's identity--forcing the admitted hoaxer to confess."_ Yeah... Willie Lynch alright. A popular, sentimental Old Wives Tale that no one ever bothered to take the time to really check out the validity of the story...

[@trooth9066]

@@vittmanvittman4915 let’s start with the absolute brutality of the slave plantation. I recommended you read the book “Hell or Barbados”

[@vittmanvittman4915]

@@trooth9066 There's nothing uniquely brutal about what atrocities happened during the years of enslavement in Barbados. Slavery was cruel and brutal wherever it was practiced. Why do you think Barbados had a special, unique, never-before-done style of cruelty compared to other countries where slavery was common place?

@African Tigress, a kind question after emucipation, Did some former slaves decided to revert to african names, all majority continued with slave masters name. 😢. 😢😢😢😢

[@lauragreen5146]

Unfortunately our names were taken first. We have no way of tracing our original last names.

[@samuelmbugua8414]

@@lauragreen5146 thanks for your response, I think we leave in a Global world and most slave from Caribbean came from west Africa, the ministry of culture should link with west africans minister to have the names of the populations incase if somebody wants to adopt an african name can access, also the Caribbean union , can came up with a law where by childrens have one English name and one African name . So that we keep our history well preserved. My option.

Hello Samuel! I am from Barbados 🇧🇧 but visited Ghana, 🌍 🇬🇭. While there, I was asked if I am Asante repeatedly. Unfortunately, with each inquiry I would respond I don't know. Actually, it makes me 😢 tear up now. To enslave the African a great effort was used to psychologically break the personhood and identity of the individual. I was told my facial features and head shape is closely Asante. Nevertheless, I am proud that as a Barbadian 🇧🇧, you will still find remnants of our ancestors on our foods like Barbados 🇧🇧 national dish is coucou and flying fish, which is banku in Ghana 🇬🇭. Sobolo in Nigeria 🇳🇬 is Sorrel in many Caribbean islands 🏝 including Barbados. It's in our dialect, certain words like pickney like pikin in Nigeria 🇳🇬, wunna in Barbados 🇧🇧 and unna in Jamaica 🇯🇲. It's in our dance too.

False history. My family is from Barbados in the 17hundreds around the time of presdent G Washington then came to NJ and Pennsylvania . Our family house is right next to a jail Washington had prisoners in . My family were black and free man . 300 years ago there was less white people by color and not status then there is today. The island is almost all black as Hati Bahamas and all the other islands . Were did all the white people mysteriously go then. If you read peace treatys you can clearly see white people had no jurisdiction on the sea that the moorish pirates controlled at that time period. My family was very wealthy in America for hundreds of years and created towns and castles hear as black people. I don't know what kind of history most of yall speak of we had like 2000 acres and that was only one of my black great great grandparents. If you don't have your family history befor 1864 you cannot speak of a transatlantic slave family because I have non

Finally Barbados is embracing its black history. They were always ashamed of it. They were the most British of the Caribbean; calling the island “ little England “ They did not celebrate the 150th anniversary of the emancipation of slavery. They said it was too painful, that it will disturb the white Barbadian’s. Leaving the concept that they were ashamed of the history
