Wow ! This is a really good one. I've seen about fifty TT episodes and prefer the prehistoric or at least Anglo-Saxon digs. But this episode is fabulous because there's so much documentary evidence (thank you, Mr. Robin), so many interesting finds, the challenge of the dense topography, the value of the sugar trade to the British economy at that time, AND the fact that it's a two-part episode. As if all of that is not enough (and it IS enough), in addition, Alexander Hamilton (U.S. founding father) was born on Nevis in 1755 or 1757. His father was from Scotland; his mother from Nevis. Alexander’s father left the family, and young Hamilton moved with his mother to St. Croix. When young Hamilton was around 11 years old, he took his first job. Shortly thereafter, his mother passed away, leaving Hamilton and his brother essentially orphaned. Alexander proved to be a valuable and enterprising employee as a clerk in St. Croix. He gained valuable life experience and impressed his employer. In August 1772 Hamilton wrote a letter to his father about a hurricane that struck Saint Croix. It was reprinted in a newspaper, the Royal Danish American Gazette. The locals were so impressed that they took up a collection to send Hamilton to a college in the British North American colonies. Ultimately, Hamilton attended Princeton, fought in the War of Independence, and went on to a distinguished political career. Finally, the recollections of an eyewitness really bring this episode alive for me: 85 years young Albert Powell (see time-mark ~ 20:32 as of 26 APR 22) provides both fascinating, articulate memories and also a model of physicality for all of us. Note: Part Two can be found (Apr/22) at the following web address: kzbin.info/www/bejne/rJfYkoCwm9Boqpo Viva TT, Nevis, and Mr. Albert Powell !

Mick was a really good Manager/Director, "his listening to the Professionals prior to making his final decisions is a trait of those whom have a steady self confidence, and confidence in those he employed to use their education and experience towards a projects goals and ultimately a most successful dig. Rule #1 Managers whom I experience the greater successes are those whom Motivate and establish mutual respect among their employees. (Management by fear is the sign of an insecure Manager and one that will create more issues than resolve and achieve far less than desired, they would need to be redirected and if they can't adapt to a mature minded sense of Management, they would need to be released from duties.) Mick was clearly a balanced individual, comfortable in his own skin. May he be blessed with abundant positive energies as he soars with the Stars. ❤

A little of this is actually nostalgic for me. When I was a child in north Florida, my grandparents, along with my parents and all my aunts and uncles, used to harvest sugar cane, squeeze it, and boil it down to cane syrup. Bits of it that caramelized on the side of large cast iron cauldron were given to us kids as candy. Sadly, about the time my grandparents became to frail to direct this any more, the family began to disperse. It takes a LOT of effort to make syrup. The jungle (probably the best word for it, regardless of what some might say) has retaken my granddad's garden, along with the grinder, both of which belong to an uncle who lives in Georgia. My dad has the cauldron, which thieves had pried loose, and it lies rusting in his back yard.

Some friends grandparents did it at their house every year, had the old press and brick boiling cauldron that must've been over 100 years old in the back of the farmhouse next to the cane field. It was very cool to see it done, the same way for hundreds of years. I took a bottle of cane syrup as a souvenir. As a Yankee, I prefer maple syrup but still an enjoyable holiday all around.

I spent some time on the island of Nevis working on a geothermal power project. The island itself is a volcano poking up through the Caribbean Sea from the sea floor. The lesser Antilles that Nevis is part of are the island arc of volcanoes of a subduction zone the movement of which causes the frequent earthquakes. I can attest to the speed with which the jungle consumes any cleared land. We could barely see the leveled area where a geothermal test well had been drilled so that we could find out if the well was still there.

Phil's excitement over the rum is superb and completely expected. This was often presented as the triangle trade in schools but I think recently that has fallen out of favor. Probably for the best since to adequately encompass the trade network you need a square shape to touch Great Britain, the West African Coast, The Caribbean and the Atlantic Seaports. There was also more goods being shipped in both directions then the main product line depicted but that was of course, taking silver or gold from GB or finished goods and trading them for slaves in West Africa, which would then be sold in the Sugar islands, where they would then purchase molasses and carry it to Boston or Britain but if Boston they would sell it and buy finished Rum to sell in Britain. There were other trades of course as timber, naval supplies and food products would be shipped from the 13 colonies to the sugar plantations and finished goods would be shipped from Britain directly to the Caribbean, such as the pottery and porcelain they are uncovering. Tony was right to say these colonies were the wealthiest in the empire in the 18th century.

Pinney didn't treat his slaves as bad as some other plantators would not because of humanitarian sentiment, but because he wanted to keep them in a good physical shape to serve him for as long and good as possible and generate good profits. He looked at them just like a good farmer looks at his livestock. In fact, in his inventories he recounted his slaves alongside with the cattle. Healthy strong slaves costed a lot and it would do him no favor if they kept falling like flies due to starvation and brutality. It was purely business and he was a businessman. He was a self made man of no aristocratic background who wouldn't ever achieve anything if he kept wasting his resources.

You can not look at the past with todays eyes nor judge by todays standars. Pini was a good man and plantation owner and I bet that he cared for his people more then MANY millionaires, billionaires and politicians do today. Also, at that same time, apart from Americas, slavery was very alive and well troughout Africa and Asia, Balkan people in Europe were inslaved by Turks and peasants in Prusia, Rusia. Not to mention that women of Earth had absolutely no rights whatsoever. So I salute those like Pini, who was better than most men of his time and would have be better that most of our time. Edit: I just realised that this was not begining of the XIXc but middle of the XVIII, before the french and american revolutions, meaning that everywhere in the world average people had no rights and Aristocrats could treat them however they wanted and do to them whatever they wanted

The slavery issue really could've been handled better. Working in a sugar press was back breaking work. Slaves's hands would regularly get caught in the presses. Knives were kept onsite to do on the spot amputations. It was hot. They had to work fast because the sap from the canes would go off so quickly. Slaves on sugar plantations rarely lived past 30. So, no matter if Pinney was shocked when seeing human flesh for sale, he still bought it. For my taste, the whole team is way too casual about it all.

During my studies as a historian we were warned against looking too much at the true horrors of slavery, concentration camps and such. People have been known to get PTSD as a result of detailed studies into the lives of slaves and the realities of the slave trade, so to emotionally distance yourself and to speak in more academic or theoretic terms is a way to protect ourselves. This doesn't mean the reality isn't acknowledged, you become very aware of how ..expletive.. awful human beings can and have been to other humans. To remain productive you sometimes need to put aside your own humanity, though, and feeling how worked up I get right now thinking about what I read and saw as a student tells me how out of practice I am in this regard after just a couple of years of less exposure. I need to go take a couple of deep breaths now, but I hope this helps you understand some of the distancing these professionals practice.

If your ancestors were as poor and destitute as you say, steve, they probably didn't benefit much from slavery but were rather the victims of similar attitudes and practices applied to them, their fellow countrymen, as the rich and powerful were using to exploit foreign slaves. Maybe instead of identifying with abusive elites that should feel guilty, you'd feel better if you empathized with your ancestors' fellow victims. Those same elites keep their advantage by dividing us normal humans and pitting us against each other.

It is obvious he is not, and cannot, relate it to a "scientific theory" which has specific parameters to adhere to before it can become a theory. For example, a theory must be tested, evaluated, and the hypotheses upheld by a series of experiments, etc., based on specific criteria before it can be classified as a theory. His revelations are more of ideas and other pointless concepts, not true theories. Rum can be made by the fermentation the juice from extracted from the juice of crushed sugar cane, as displayed in this episode. Also, it can be distilled from sugarcane by-products, like molasses or for lighter rums, directly from sugar cane juice. These are then matured in oaken casks.

Pinney- a ' kind slave owner'? How convenient... We wouldn't like to be confronted with the truth. 'Kind slave owners' is an oxymoron; closely related to the unicorn, the tooth fairy, Santa Claus, and the treasure on the end of the rainbow. But let's pretend he was kind and just a victim of his times. Let's ignore the agony and despair of millions...

There is nothing kind about owning slaves, period. That said, there obviously would have been some slave owners that were *kinder,* and that is in fact a little bit better. This isn't promoting slavery or unkindness in any way to say that, and I stress it still does *not* excuse those who falsely thought that owning slaves would ever be justifiable.

Name a people anywhere in the world that didn’t have slavery at some time. People are so ignorant of history. “You are racist so pay me” is bull shit I’ve had to live with. As if racism isn’t a two way street.
