[QUOTE]Originally posted by Mike111: [QB] [QUOTE]Originally posted by kdolo: [qb] Montserrat ?? descendants of expelled Blacks from Ireland during the Cromwell purges ?? [/qb][/QUOTE]^Of course: If you remember that Black Europeans were originally Indentures, only later becoming slaves, it all makes perfect sense. Wiki - (to be taken with a grain of salt): Montserrat came under English control in 1632 when anti-Catholic violence in Nevis forced a group of Irish people, transported from Ireland as indentured servants, to settle in Montserrat. A neo-feudal colony developed amongst the "redlegs". The colonists began to transport Sub-Saharan African slaves for labour, as was common to most Caribbean islands. The colonists built an economy based on the production of sugar, rum, arrowroot and sea island cotton, cultivated on large plantations manned by slave labour. By the late 1700s, numerous plantations had been developed on the island. Many Irish continued to be transported to the island, to work as indentured servants; some were exiled during the English Cromwellian conquest of Ireland. 18th century On 17 March 1768, slaves rebelled but failed to achieve freedom. The people of Montserrat celebrate St Patrick's Day as a public holiday due to the slave revolt. Festivities held that week commemorate the culture of Montserrat in song, dance, food and traditional costumes. In 1782, during the American Revolutionary War, France briefly captured Montserrat after supporting the American rebels. The French returned the island to Great Britain under the 1783 Treaty of Paris, which ended that conflict. [/QB][/QUOTE]
