A Brief History of the Caribbean
The Black Jacobins
1790's Regional Hotspots
When the British captured Trinidad in 1797 there where many battles for islands taking place in the Caribbean region.
The European wars for territories in the Caribbean reached a high point in the 1790s. The French Revolution of 1789 added a civil war to the equation. Revolt reigned in the islands, in St. Lucia, Grenada, Dominica, among the maroons - former slaves who had taken to the Blue Mountains of Jamaica’s central range -, and most violent of all, in Haiti.
There was heavy fighting in the Eastern Caribbean. British troops took Martinique in 1794. A month or two later, they landed in Guadeloupe. There, the British came up against Victor Hugues, leader of the French Revolution in the Caribbean. He had sailed from Marseilles, France, the year before.
His squadron attacked the British in 1795 in Basseterre and forced them out of Guadeloupe by the end of that year.
Victor Hugues set to work to drive the British out of these islands and to convert people to the cause of the revolution of republican France. Agents were sent to St. Vincent. Troops were sent in after the agents, and before long the English were hard pressed to keep Kingstown, while the French, made up of black and coloured troops, and the Caribs held the rest of the island.

Christopher Columbus landed in Trinidad in 1498, and the island was settled by the Spanish a century later The original inhabitantsArawak and Carib Indianswere largely wiped out by the Spanish colonizers, and the survivors were gradually assimilated. Although it attracted French, free Black, and other non-Spanish settlers, Trinidad remained under Spanish rule until the British captured it in 1797. During the colonial period, Trinidad's economy relied on large sugar and cocoa plantations. Tobago's development was similar to other plantation islands in the Lesser Antilles and quite different from Trinidad's. During the colonial period, French, Dutch, and British forces fought over possession of Tobago, and the island changed hands 22 timesmore often than any other West Indian island. Tobago was finally ceded to Great Britain in 1814. The two islands were incorporated into the single crown colony of Trinidad and Tobago in edit

      < BACK TO HISTORY CONTENTS THE COMMONWEALTH CARIBBEAN is the term applied to the English- speaking islands in the Carribbean and the mainland nations of Belize (formerly British Honduras) and Guyana (formerly British Guiana) that once constituted the Caribbean portion of the British Empire. This volume examines only the islands of the Commonwealth Caribbean, which are Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago, the Windward Islands (Dominica, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, and Grenada), Barbados, the Leeward Islands (Antigua and Barbuda, St. Christopher [hereafter, St. Kitts] and Nevis, the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, and Montserrat), and the so-called Northern Islands (the Bahamas, the Cayman Islands, and the Turks and Caicos Islands). To the casual observer, these islands might appear to be too disparate to allow for a common discussion. Consider, for instance, the differences in population, size, income, ethnic composition, and political status among the various islands. Anguilla's 7,000 residents live on an island totaling 91 square kilometers, whereas Jamaica has a population of 2.3 million and a territory of nearly 11,000 square kilometers. The per capita gross domestic product (GDPsee Glossary) of the Cayman Islands is nearly fourteen times as large as that of St. Vincent and the Grenadines. Trinidad and Tobago's population is evenly divided between blacks and East Indians, a pattern quite different from that on the other islands, on which blacks constitute an overwhelming majority. Although most of the islands are independent nations, five (the British Virgin Islands, Anguilla, Montserrat, the Cayman Islands, and the Turks and Caicos Islands) remain British dependencies.

    Hugues dispatched his agents to Jamaica, where a full-fledged war was waged by the maroons, slaves who had freed themselves, and the British troops. They were so heavily engaged that no reinforcements could be sent to relieve General Maitland’s fever-stricken English soldiers in Haiti. By 1798, the English were compelled to leave Haiti, however in Jamaica, the black maroons had been crushed.

      Officials investigate deaths of three infants as doctor's strike moves into fifth day in Trinidad and Tobago
      Thu Apr 25, 6:08 PM ET By TONY FRASER, Associated Press Writer PORT-OF-SPAIN, Trinidad - Authorities are investigating the deaths of two stillborn babies and one newborn whose mothers waited hours for medical care during a doctors' strike this week. Trinidad and Tobago's 280 state-hired doctors were in the fifth day of their strike Thursday, demanding equal pay with 325 doctors contracted by regional authorities who pay hundreds more dollars a month. The government has called the strike illegal, but doctors say they'll resign before they work again at present state wages. "Any injunction filed and any arrests made will be met with the unanimous opposition of the doctors ... there will be a complete resignation," said Dr. Angelo Fortune, vice president of the medical branch of the Public Services Association and one of the striking doctors. The mothers whose babies died say they waited hours for care at emergency rooms.

    the history of sugar
    Saccharum officinarum
    L. GRAMINEAE, POACEAE
    Common name: sugar cane
    Sugar cane is the source of sugar in all tropical and subtropical countries of the world. Estimates for 1966 and 1967 indicate world production of cane sugar was about 41 million tonnes.
    Several species of Saccharum are found in Southeast Asia and neighbouring islands, and from these cultivated cane probably originated. The sweet juice and crystallised sugar were known in China and India some 2500 years ago. Sugar cane reached the Mediterranean countries in the 18thC, and reached the Americas in early colonial times.
    The cane plant is a coarse growing member of the grass family with juice or sap high in sugar content. It is tender to cold, hence it is suitable to tropical countries where it may be planted at almost any time of the year since the plant does not have a rest period. This results in heavier yields of cane and sugar where it is planted in sub-tropical conditions. For example, yields of cane and sugar per acre in Trinidad, where the cane is grown for about 2 years before harvesting, are from 3 to 4 times yields in Louisiana and Florida for they have to cut the cane from one season's growth.
    In planting cane fields, mature cane stalks are cut into sections and laid horizontally in furrows. In Tobago and Trinidad 2 or 3 nodes are commonly when they are laid. Usually only one node on a stem piece develops a new plant because of polarity along the stem piece.
