Sugar plantations in Jamaica (c. 1750)
On the Industrial Revolution map as “Jamaica’s plantations”
c. 1750 — In Britain’s richest colony, some 120,000 enslaved Africans grow sugar. Spanish rule had destroyed the island’s Taíno people, and the plantation regime is so lethal that the enslaved population survives only through constant new arrivals. The profits reach Bristol, Liverpool and London.
