Sugar and Law: The Barbados Slave Code That Washington Black Escaped

Barbados didn't simply grow sugar; it emposed the 1661 Slave Code-- a legal architecture that turned people into home and shaped slavery throughout the Atlantic. Our brand-new feature pairs a 56-second trailer with clear context: sugar-financed empire, law-enforced the chains, and Barbados became Britain's first slave society. We bridge the world of Washington Black to the historical Barbados you can still stroll today-- windmills, boiling houses, and villages tracing old estate lines. We also note Halifax links and daily "rogues" whose humour and resourcefulness refused to disappear.



Check out the code, the context, and the Atlantic connections.
