  2. CW: Chattel slavery for sugar and rum 🧶

    In 1776, Scotsman Adam "Smith noted that the British West Indian sugar plantations were so profitable they their returns from rum exports, a byproduct of sugar production, paid for the entire overhead expenses of a sugar plantation. As far as Smith was concerned, this was an achievement without parallel in eighteen-century British imperial agriculture."

    (excerpt from Seymour Drescher’s book "The Mighty Experiment: Free Labor versus Slavery in British Emancipation")

  4. An abandoned oil tanker has run aground in Trinidad & Tobago.

    It's rumored that this may have been a ship that was intentionally left to drift due to being full of toxic oil which is expensive to safely dispose of and could not be sold.

    The French Sugar Business in the Eighteenth Century by Robert Louis Stein

    Plantations in the French Antilles (principally in Haiti) became major sugar producers in the 18th century, and France became a main distributor to other European countries. Stein provides a clear and coherent (if sometimes repetitious) explanation of the three-pronged trade; ships from France carried slaves from Africa to the Antilles, and then returned to Europe with sugar. The slaves, most of whom died of disease and overwork, were victims of the French sugar trade.
