USA stole Oregon, Washington, California, Texas, New Mexico, from the Mexican people and government with the help of corrupt nobles in Mexico.

    I was taught none of this history at school. So I spent the past 5 years learning about my family in Jamaica and the history of Jamaica. It’s taken a long time because I can’t access the archives in Jamaica so I’ve tracked my own family tree. Through this I discovered that Andrew Holness’ wife, Juliet Holness is my grandmother’s sister. My grandmother and Juliet went to the same school in St. Catherine, Andrew also went to that same school where he met Juliet. Thanks for this video I have learned a lot. 🙏🏾

    Good video, however , unless I missed something you forgot about indentured slaves that came from India, China, Germany. Also there is the Portuguese, the Jewish , Syrians. What happened to this part of the History. Aldo the Tainos w here inhabiting the island that’s why it’s called West Indies because he thought he was in India. You missed a huge part of the History that makes up Jamaica, the coat of arms with the Arawaks on it and disrespectfully missing out all the people who make up the motto of out of many one people. BTWY I Am Jamaica, as many Jamaicans are ethnically mixed of which mine is India Spanish Portuguese, Scottish African. Pleases do not say Jamaican history in 20 minutes when you only give a portion.

The photo and image on the currency are more likely of Rev. James Service of Portland, Jamaica.

    This is somewhat disingenuous. Jamaica is more than a history of ‘slavery’. Michael Manley was catastrophic for the country and destroyed any hope after Independence.. crime, anti white, drug cartels and terrible violence. What follows was economic and social problems. Liberal teaching has linked this to ‘colonialism’ when in fact it is those who did not build on the foundations left by British colonialism (government, civil service, health, viable industries, education, army, police, financial infrastructure) - it was all dismantled. Now Jamaican politicians have sold the soul of the country to China. It won’t end well. Give me Jamaica in the 1960s over the country today - any time.

      The Maroons have an extensive knowledge of plants in the Jamaican jungle, including species that are not found in Africa. Some of this knowledge is so complex it could only have been developed over many generations. For example, chocolate requires at least 7 non-obvious steps to prepare. Hans Sloane is given credit for the recipe, but all he did was say he preferred the drink that contained milk which was offered to him, after he had sampled the non-milk version. The Maroons could only have gotten this and other knowledge from the Tianos.
