The Island That Codified Slavery: Barbados 1661
Barbados didn't just grow sugar; it emposed the 1661 slave code-- a legal architecture that turned people into property and shaped slavery throughout the Atlantic. Our brand-new feature pairs a 56-second trailer with clear context: sugar-financed empire, law-enforced the chains, and Barbados became Britain's very first slave society. We bridge the world of Washington Black to the historical Barbados you can still stroll today-- windmills, boiling houses, and villages tracing old estate lines. We likewise note Halifax links and everyday "rogues" whose humour and ingenuity refused to go away.
See the history behind the fiction in under a minute.
