Sugar, Chains & the World They Built
They did not know what sugar tasted like. They knew what it cost. For 150 years, Jamaica was the most profitable piece of land on earth — and the most brutal. Hundreds of thousands of men, women and children were shipped across the Atlantic in chains to cut cane under a Caribbean sun, and the wealth they created built cities, funded empires, and made fortunes that echo into the present day. This is their story. From the English conquest of 1655 to the abolition of the slave trade in 1807, Sugar, Chains & the World They Built takes readers deep into the plantation system — into the boiling houses, the great houses, the maroon villages in the mountains, and the hearts of the people who endured, resisted, and survived. This is history told with honesty, passion, and an unflinching respect for the lives that made the modern world. It is a book that will not let you go. This book was written by Winston Phillips and contains original, human-authored content published by Wappy King Publishing House.
