In the Caribbean, emancipation was a significant event that predetermined the further development of the region for the following years. Many factors contributed to this outcome, and one should highlight the role that outside forces played in the given process. In particular, the foreigners’ impact was positive rather than negative and resulted in the promotion of emancipation in the Caribbean because they brought anti-slavery moods, advocated for the abolishment of slavery, and promoted capitalism in the region.
Foreigners actively participated in promoting emancipation in the Caribbean, and a few factors support this claim. Firstly, anti-slavery moods and movements were widespread in the British Empire during the 18th and 19th centuries. Since the given region was a British colony, it was not surprising that those opinions positively affected the territory. Secondly, numerous societies and organizations made specific efforts to eliminate slavery in the British Empire. They created petitions with hundreds of thousands of signatures against this humiliation practice for that purpose. These petitions were then sent to the British Parliament, which approached emancipation in the Caribbean. Thirdly, one should not ignore an economic factor because capitalism made slavery financially unprofitable. Consequently, these three factors demonstrate that it is impossible to deny that these people played a significant role in promoting emancipation.
In summary, the paper has demonstrated that foreigners positively impacted the emancipation processes in the Caribbean. Social, political, and economic activities were the leading forces that demonstrated how outside forces contributed to the promotion of fundamental human rights in the given territory. That is why it is possible to conclude that citizens of the British Empire had a significant and irreplaceable impact on emancipation in the Caribbean.
