Those that enslaved African men and women, styled themselves as "the civilised class...the superior class, yet they were the most barbaric and cruel set that has ever lived!
To understand Morant Bay, I think you need to look at the Matale (Rebellion) atrocities of 1848 in Ceylon, overseen by Lord Torrington, best friend of Lord Eyre. The judge of the kangaroo courts in Morant Bay was the law partner of Hewitt Bernard, a relative of Dallas Bernard, chief advisor to Torrington. How do I know? Because Hewitt Bernard, Canada's Justice minister after leaving Jamaica, was caught by an American newspaper trying to do the same thing a third time during the Red River "rebellion" (now in Canada).
I hope you see this comment. I am requesting you do a series on the Caribbean migration to America simce the 1600s till today and how they impacted black culture in America. Why was New Orleans considered the little Caribbean? And why was Harlem known as the largest west Indian city outside of Kingston. Also the new York slave revolt was instigated the Coromantaes (maroons from Jamaica) and that the slaves from the Caribbean outnumbered the ones directly from Africa 3 to 1 in northern slave states like new York. I have the links for research if you want🤷🏿♂️
Alex, ur research skills, leaves no question as to ur quest in finding the real “what was”, instead of the half truths and hogwash, which was taught to many of us in school, and having us believing it was so. Thank you 🙏, for clearing up a lot of misconceptions, in our Jamaican histories. Blessings ❤
Very important history of Jamaica some similar incidents also occured in some other islands of the caribbean islands during slavery..This just shows how some our caribbean islands have similar history..Good interesting history
Mister Sir, i appreciate all your hard work and effort on this channel. Jamaican history is not highlighted and reviewed often enough. Im in my late teens, and seem to know and even WANT to know more than people who are my age and older.
Very interesting history. 13:42 that dinner party in the mountains, is an area now called "Dinner Time", which is one if the peaks in the mountains of St. Thomas
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Broski you are the best thing I’ve found on TH-cam in years, your telling me things i’ve suspected was true For a long time I’m just not in Jamaica to find out the truth myself soon come though
Greetings. Keen Analysis. And, a fresh perspective on The Morant Bay Events. Alkebulan(African) People taking a stand Rights and Justice. Veneration to these Powerful Ancestors.Thank You
It was a massacre and i think Underhill in his letter the crown came to that conclusion, as well. As to whether the leadership of the complainants wanted to replace the existing order with something new and different is still being debated. But major crimes were committed in Morant Bay. Another key question is how did Gordon got caught up in the Morant Bay fiasco? Given that he was living in Cherry Gardens and was not in St. Thomas when the riot broke out. Was he executed for betraying his color and class or was he part of a larger plot? Dont have a personal view on the matter.
Gordon was a scapegoat for Eyre. Gordon was always a critic of Eyre and was on the other side of the fence in parliament. It was well documented Eyre never liked him and his alliances with his constituents. Further the organization with which Bogle and his people operated was sophisticated such that Eyre racist and bigoted mind could not accept that blacks were maneuvering in this manner. So he had to attribute their tactical prowess to white and mulato directive. Sidney Levien was also arrested for this alliance
At the time of the massacre black people in Jamaica were not real people,as we see today;the governor hated them as he did in the colony of Australia were he last served.
So true it was never a rebellion. Remember the role the so called Maroon captured and handed in Bogle and other black people being captured and killed?
I've always said that the first things we have been taught in school were lies and it sticks in our mind. Can you imagine if we been taught the truth from the beginning? Only of Kate l have been learning about what Marcus Garvey contribution is and the impact it is still making. I hope our youths will take it on their selves to read and share the knowledge they have gain
Nothing dont go like that!😂😂😂! Im sure we all know what to do when we have a problem in our community and its not to block roads and attack anyone. I guess no one could write a letter much less make a few people in the community sighn it.😂😂😂
It was a maroon Judas who sell out the right excellent paul bogle but he just place him among the islands greatest so at times a man can do more from the grave than alive his death is one of the reason we have the freedom we have today.

Why can't a rebellion be followed by a massacre? The community were agitating for jobs and better social conditions and had organized a march to the capital at Spanish Town. The violence was triggered by the proverbial "straw that broke the camel's back". To say it was not a revolt is to say the people were satisfied with the situation, including the magistrates showing preference to the Indians over the Africans brought before them. William Gordon was roped in (literally) because he had been agitating against this preference to "the coolies" (his words in the historical records). This is reducing history to a single event.
And you are so wrong, less than two months ago, it was proven without a doubt, that the picture is indeed that of Paul Bogle. Do some research, try the NLJ as a starting point.
You’re clueless! I can tell you don’t follow up and research much about Jamaican’s Heroes!! Jamaica is the first to many things before the US AND been taking historical picture there’s a TH-camR LADY NAME IRIE SHOWS THAT ITS A BLACK AMERICAN STOLE AND PLAGIARIES THE PICTURE AS THEIR OWN FOR THEIR LIES! AND STILL THIS DAY REFUSES TO GIVE AN APOLOGY.
@@HummingbirdJa what research? Please cite so we can all read it. All I have seen is that it is not Jennings and not Bogle either, but Rev. James B. Service of Boston, Portland.
When will the people have the right to bear arms? It's this same reason why such was placed in the US constitution. The Government can become tyrannical and oppressive. Thus, the people must be able to defend themselves against such.
To say the police has no right to arrest a person without a warrant is misleading and incorrect. A person that commit any crime can be arrested without a warrant.
Under the colonial law that's how it was, and if you listened then you would understand. Obviously you weren't trying to learn smtn, you were looking for mistakes or faults.
By now, we all know that whatever they told us, the opposite is true.
Those that enslaved African men and women, styled themselves as "the civilised class...the superior class, yet they were the most barbaric and cruel set that has ever lived!
Yes many were very cruel.. The were not Africans, neither were the enslaved. Our history is hissed in our surnames, not skin colour as they taught.
Thanks for researching and bringing this forward to us.
Amount a effort u put inna your work is admirable fam. Ya teach me alot of things me deven did know. Heart a love deh me G!
Blessings family and thanks for the encouragement, stay blessed

Militia, I like that word.
At the time of the massacre black people in Jamaica were not real people,as we see today;the governor hated them as he did in the colony of Australia were he last served.
Part2
This people wanted help for change. They were killed because they were not seen as people
Remember Remember Remember
I was always aware of the massacre and not bothered by the name. 😢. I suppose its framing.
So true it was never a rebellion. Remember the role the so called Maroon captured and handed in Bogle and other black people being captured and killed?
The Maroons were lied to.
1702-1887 my Paul Bogle rebellious and revoluting era
All this time they kept ramming false information down Jamaican children throat for years. Lord the evils of colonialism.
I've always said that the first things we have been taught in school were lies and it sticks in our mind. Can you imagine if we been taught the truth from the beginning?
Only of Kate l have been learning about what Marcus Garvey contribution is and the impact it is still making. I hope our youths will take it on their selves to read and share the knowledge they have gain
Can i have a full picture of the court house
Yes you can
Nothing dont go like that!😂😂😂! Im sure we all know what to do when we have a problem in our community and its not to block roads and attack anyone. I guess no one could write a letter much less make a few people in the community sighn it.😂😂😂

I just don't understand how any black people can support or respect the British monarchy
Exactly!!!!
Exactly..I have divested 5 years ago....I am fully African born in Jamaica. Never again
you where suppose to be seen and not to be heard
The flesh of Lord Min is like unto asses and his issue is like unto a stallion horse. Lord Min is possessor of the rod of corErection Lord Min is a powerful man in all forms the most high created Lord Min and I in his full glory
The evidence in you find shows that it was a massacre
Indeed, it was a massacre for sure.
Why can't a rebellion be followed by a massacre? The community were agitating for jobs and better social conditions and had organized a march to the capital at Spanish Town.

A not even Paul bogle picture that it’s Thomas L Jennings

Two wrongs don’t make it right
Bro it is said that it was the maroon that did the massacre for the white 😱🧐🧐🧐
Every dog has its place and day almighty god don’t forget or like ugliness truth be told 😅
