Barbados, Britain's First Slave Society (1661)


Before balloons and get away stories, there was the 1661 Barbados Slave Code. It helped define slavery in law and made Barbados a model for Britain's Atlantic nests. Our 56-second video sets the scene rapidly, then the feature unloads it: why Barbados is called a very first slave society, how sugar money and legal control worked together, and where to try to find proof on the ground. We also note the Halifax connection and indicate daily voices that complicate any single variation of events. The page links to maps, readings, and conversation triggers, making it beneficial for both casual readers and educators alike.

See the 56-second explainer and check out the feature now.
