How Did Jamaica Become a Country?

[@panafricantalesbycassie]

Xaymaca--> Jamaiqua ---> Jamaica! Jamaica holds a special place in my heart as a Nigerian. Some of the enslaved people brought in from Africa were from Nigeria. the Eboes /Igbos

[@WinstonCrosdale-h6d]

In God, all should put there trust.

[@seekingallknowledge]

​@@WinstonCrosdale-h6d we traded and intermarried with igbo and other (so called) Africans. But we where/are not Africans

[@TheRemakersIreland]

Incredibly important: you didn't mention the Irish slaves that were introduced by Oliver Cromwell in the 1650s. Today, many Jamaicans identify as having Irish heritage, as the Irish indentured and west African slaves at one point coexisted under British rule.

[@afletch3845]

Could be a reason "Fletcher" is a last name there when it has Irish background meaning arrow maker

[@Blackisciple]

Let me correct you there the Irish will NEVER SLAVES they were INDENTURED SERVANTS who were able to win the Freedom when they served a certain amount of years. The Irish were not treated the same as the Blacks the blacks were slaves for Life no freedom Until Death white people will never slaves in the Caribbean

[@GAZAMAN93X]

@: Jamaica is a Black African majority population. mixed race people, Asians & lastly descendants of colonizers who never went back home (Irish included) 2: Irish indentured servants & Black African chattel slaves aren't the same thing. We're different 🤦🏿‍♂️ After they were no longer indentured servants these Irish would become overseers & slave owners themselves. Becoming an oppressor like their English neighbors.

Black, green and GOLD not yellow

[@queenbent-o9v]

I agreeee😅

[@MicahmaishaqueenMcDowell]

It can be be yellow or gold

[@michaelmaxwell2464]

@MicahmaishaqueenMcDowell NOT A SOUL in Jamaica talks about the flag as yellow. It is known as the Black, Green and GOLD not the Black, Green and Yellow for a reason.

[@vito_reacts]

No Gold was found yet. Until now. We have both Gold and Oil

Jamaica has alway been a country all the big countries are in the greater Antilles, and all the island like my island is in the smaller Antilles, anything that is over 50 square miles is a country anything less is an island 🏝 like my island which is only 39,1/2 square miles,

[@AnthonyRamsay-tg8xg]

Are you knowledgeable about the 13 tribes of Israel?

[@berthonpowell7366]

A good overview. Very comprehensive. Christopher Columbus discovered the Caribbean for the Spanish but he saw Indians when he got there. So why a Columbus Day??

[@IBumpg]

He found out something he did not know. Columbus never discovered Jamaica; he, to put it mildly, became aware of the island.

[@travisdonaldstanley6420]

Columbus Day came centuries later in the USA. The Knight's of Columbus used their connections with the White House back in the 20th century to make it a holiday.

[@otaineydouglas7622]

big lie he didn't discover anything fake news lie lie

[@JanetCousins-to3hz]

No English-speaking Caribbean island has ever celebrated Columbus Day,

Jamaica is not a country it's resources and people are in fact still owned by private corporations l. It's a corporstocracy. So Who's emancipation and What independence are you actually talking about?

[@carlabraham4857]

What are you trying to say ?

[@geelb-fe7ef]

@@carlabraham4857 I'm not "trying" I was clear. The country does not have government for the people but governance by people who are vested in profit for shareholders. The majority stake in the country is not owned by the people but by the same monied/ corporate classes which controlled the resources during the era of kidnapping human trafficking and brutalized enforced free labor,, so who's independence is it?

You know, when I was at school doing social studies, I was told that an island was surrounded by water. So, how can Jamaica become a country? I believe this title needs to be changed. Wrong message.

Do a simple Google search on what is a country. 😢😢
