Please do not forget the Jamaicans that came from Scotland England and Ireland in particular. An insightful point of reference can be found in the book, 'Whence the Black Irish of Jamaica.' Approximately 300,000 arrived in Jamaica; Barbados; Montserrat and the Carolina's from Ireland. According to an interview with Henry Gates, the number of Africans has now been estimated at 92,000, which is a far cry from the inflated 12,500,000. I believe the entire story needs to be reviewed.
Yes great book , Whence the Black Irish. Jamaicans are American aborigine aka Amerindians. But have mixed with swarthy indigenous Europeans, today called Africans but they are not as many have migrated to their current locations. Yoruba for one. Yet DNA is telling people they're from Nigeria ? Chunks of history has been and still is omitted and repeatedly regurgitated same ol history. Jamaican history has been deliberately omitted as well as the identity of the foundational inhabitants. Just as the academic education social engineering system. They don't want the indigenous people of the soil to wake . Black Europeans mix in with black indigenous Caribbeans. We also mixed with other groups of indigenous people within the Americas as well.Sooo many tribes were sent to Jamaica from south Carolinas ... where is this information in the public eye? You're so correct about changes .red to be made when it comes to Jamaica's real history and original inhabitants.
The twelve plus millions reference that she made was the numbers of enslaved taken to the entire region, including Brazil. No one would believe that 12,000,000 plus were taken to Jamaica alone.🤔
@chrisper7527 Yes, I understand that, but the numbers do not add up. Far from it. Please remember that sail boats were used back then with small capacities and not steam ships, which became popular during the 1850s, not long before the Emancipation Proclamation. It's a common misconception that America's and the carrribean islands were scarcely populated. There's so much more to it, and we should always strive to think for ourselves and not follow the doctrines as gospel.
Jamaica has been around since 605 A.D. by Taino (Puerto Rican aka Arawak Indians first indigenous island of carribean Jamaica) BEFORE the Europeans invaded. We were forced out of Spain (latin)-Sephardic (Spanish)-Jew during theIinquistion and forced to severals areas including Jamaica.
Good information. Thank you. Please note however that the slave TRADE, NOT slavery, was outlawed by Britain in 1807 and by America in 1808. Slavery itself was abolished in Jamaica and other British colonies in 1838.
My 4th greatngrandmother was a Brooks she adopted the name fromm slave owner George Brooks she was on one of his estates call Blenheim in Manchester Jamaica the Brooks family had estates in saint Elizabeth and Manchester Jamaica they were from Emgland
The Spanish did take Africans to Jamaica prior to this British. The Spanish Africans escaped to the hinterland, when the English arrived. These first wave of enslaved Africans already had knowledge of the terrain and had began to establish families. When the English arrived, during the skirmish with the Spanish, the enslaved Africans found their chances to escape.
Explain to me how the africans in the Pacific got there? Searching for Jamaican ancestors is a nightmare to some of us because the records are not consistent, in some case non existent. Keep it up.
They migrated there on their own thousands of years prior to slavery; although, some in South Asia were a part of the European slave trade, especially the Sidis in India.

We know the first enslaved blacks were born in Spain.
The Spanish had permission only to ship blacks born in Spain ,
