Barbados didn’t simply grow sugar; it emposed the 1661 Slave Code– a legal architecture that turned individuals into property and shaped slavery across the Atlantic. Our brand-new function sets a 56-second trailer with clear context: sugar-financed empire, law-enforced the chains, and Barbados became Britain’s first slave society. We bridge the world of Washington Black to the historic Barbados you can still walk today– windmills, boiling houses, and towns tracing old estate lines. We also keep in mind Halifax links and daily “rogues” whose humour and ingenuity refused to go away.
