The true mark of the emancipation of the Caribbean is their rebellious will and determination after many years. The Caribbean slave trade had a total impact on the modern economy and politics. Strong-willed Caribbean people remember the bans on voting and their non-recognition as full-fledged members of society who have the right to own land and property. This will is now manifested in the accusations of the Caribbean towards the UK and the royal family. The Caribbean has always been a desperate territory where people are ready to defend their interests. They continue to criticize the UK for lacking an apology to the Caribbean. These apologies, it seems to the people, will help to atone for guilt and begin a more detailed study of the crimes of Great Britain. The Caribs stand out among the many slave territories for their militancy and selflessness. It is due not only to the British crown but also to their remaining powerless after the official declaration of freedom.
Cubans and Dominicans were both under the rule of the Spanish crown and did not gain independence immediately. However, in my opinion, the Dominicans were able to get more protection and support, in particular from Haiti and Jean-Pierre Boyer. Haiti became a revolution and a breakthrough for the enslavers, and they represented a strong authority for the then elites. The Cubans were severely dependent on the sugar plantations, which drew them into continuing slavery. In their case, slavery meant more than owning other people’s labor. Cubans lay at the foundation of the economy of the monarchy and food production. Cubans-Africans mixed with the Taíno, the island’s indigenous population, and Europeans, but due to dependence on sugar plantations, the enslavers had ambitions to prevent freedom for them. Cubans, especially women and children, despite the high percentage of mixing, remained dependent and forced to work in the main center of sugar production.
