Barbados 1661: Empire's Slave Blueprint in the time of Washington Black
Barbados did not simply grow sugar; in 1661, it wrote a code that turned people into property and influenced servant law across the British Atlantic. That is the world Washington Black is born into. Our brand-new brief explainer introduces the Barbados Slave Code and why historians call Barbados Britain's very first servant society. The post connects the legal framework to everyday truth in mills, boiling houses, and markets, and touches the Halifax trade routes that connected islands to northern ports. It is a vigorous primer for readers who want the history behind the fiction without wading through a textbook. View the short, then use the connected sources and maps to go deeper, from law and labour to the resistant lives that withstood.
