Barbados 1661: From Sugar to Statute Behind Washington Black
Barbados didn't just grow sugar; it emposed the 1661 Slave Code-- a legal architecture that turned people into residential or commercial property and shaped slavery across the Atlantic. Our brand-new function sets a 56-second trailer with clear context: sugar-financed empire, law-enforced the chains, and Barbados became Britain's first slave society. We bridge the world of Washington Black to the historic Barbados you can still walk today-- windmills, boiling houses, and villages tracing old estate lines. We likewise keep in mind Halifax links and everyday "rogues" whose humour and ingenuity refused to disappear.
Start with the short video, then dive into sources and maps.
