The prosperity of the colony was gravely affected during the 18th century by wars between the British and French and by the American revolution. In 1834 slavery was abolished and this led to a substantial increase in agriculture production. Barbados gained full internal self-government in 1961 and became an independent state on November 30, 1966.

Extractions: Household A snippet of Bajan culture: In Barbados, part of the culture comes from learning not to stare when you pass a cow grazing in the median (or on the side) of one of the island's busiest highways. Because many Bajans don't have much land of their own, it's a more-or-less accepted practice for people to "tie down" their cows wherever the grass is. The Bajan leads the cow out in the morning, ties a heavy rock to the cow's horn by a long rope, and leaves the animal till nightfall. The cow eventually provides meat (and sometimes milk, if the owner breeds the cow) for a Bajan family at a lower cost than buying the meat at market.

Extractions: Barbados Poetry Bajan dialect, like much of the rest of the island's culture, consists of an amalgamation between European English and African languages. Some consider it to be broken English or a dialect, but it truly is a work of its own. A section in the Insight Guides discusses the language: Local poet Bruce St John defends the language against those who say that it is limited: We' language limit? An' yuh still wan' rice... Crash course: Let's use this poem as crash course in Bajan. Line 1 translated is, "Is our language limited?" In Bajan, unlike in English, one form of a pronoun may be used as subject, object and posessive: "we know"; "tell we"; "it is we book." Bajan does not invert the subject and verb when forming this type of question; the sentence looks like a statement, but by raising your voice at the end, a listener will know that you have asked a question.

The official language is the Queens English, though 'Bajan slang' is heard quite frequently. The average life span is approximately 75 years. Sugar and Tourism are the islands main industries, which you are bound to realize on your visit, for as you drive around sightseeing and taking in the island you will notice, especially in the country, the many cane fields. They look a lot like corn but do not be fooled. If you want to learn more about sugar cane it will do you well to visit one of the three processing factories still in operation today.
