Question

Which of the following led to a large number of Barbadians moving to Carolina?
A. the spice trade
B. the rise in the demand for sugar
C. the abolition of slavery
D. free passage for indentured servants

Answer 1

Barbados was first settled by the English in 1625, and by 1640 sugar cane was introduced to the colony and it soon became heavily dependent on slave labor to keep the blossoming industry alive. Barbados acquired the nickname "Little England" because, through the centuries, it has remained the most British of the Caribbean islands. Since wind currents made it relatively difficult to reach under sail, it was not conquered and reconquered like most of its Caribbean neighbors. British control over Barbados lasted from 1625 until its independence in 1966.
