I love Portland so much, our land is beautiful and the people keep much of their African influence. Thank you as always for your time and educational content 💛🖤💚
Portland one of the most beautiful parish in Jamaica I would gave it number 1 when it comes to difference river and fall s the green nature wonderful history
My older sister and I lived in Port Antonio with our grand parents, aunt and three cousins for three years before migrating to Canada. It's so nice to learn about a place that I didn't know much about since my sister and I came to Canada at the ages of 11 and 9.
Thank you Alex for this fascinating historical story about Portland in Jamaica very interesting wish you could do more history on trelawney my birth parish blessings from England
I am from Portland --Hope Bay,Grand Mother was a descendant of the Maroons.Your history of Portland is lovely, could not stop watching your video.Thank you so much,you were born with a gift--Historian.Have been a dedicated subscriber for a long time-watching from Toronto ❤
Thank you Alex for your historical history. I have learned so much about Jamaica since I came across you . I left ja as a girl thank you for all your teachings. You must have spent hrs into doing such research to be able to educate us. Thank you very much, stay blessed uk
Also how is it that the whites were given the privilege to exponentially increase there wealth in land from from 30 acres but blacks/mulatto/indians were not offered the same right 🤔...smh
Thank you so much for this. I was born in Portland but did not know our history. I left over 30 years ago and barely know much. So, I watch a lot of videos to keep me up to date.
Spoiled portlander here...There is no place like Portland. I remember the banana trade being in full effect as a little girl...my grandmother and Aunt used would make banana flour from the excess; summerccamp on steriods...
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Fantastic info as usual. Just one slight correction to what you said at the very end. The queen you refered would be "Queen Consort" to King George VI. Queen Elizabeth the first was much earlier (ruling from 1533 - 1603)
Thank you for the history of Portland. Is the road leading from Muirton River to Faint Weh accessible? Beautiful view and lush vegetation in this section of Portland. Hopefully, the road to this section of Portland has improved. Long overdue. Blessings
We understand what you said about the 400 acres but this is proof that WS is just a construct. Thank you for your research. So expanded and named for William Henry Cavendish Bentinck, 3rd duke of Portland?
Very very interesting interesting program about my adopted parish. Just one correction though. Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon was not Queen Elizabeth I. Queen Elizabeth I lived in the 1500s. She was Queen in her own right because her father was King Henry VIII. Elizabeth Bowes-Lyon became known as Queen Elizabeth (or Queen Mum, seeing that she had the same name as her daughter) just because she married King George VI. King George's daughter Elizabeth was Queen Elizabeth II because her father was King.
Elizabeth Angela Marguerite Bowes-Lyon (4 August 1900 - 30 March 2002) was Queen of the United Kingdom and the Dominions of the British Commonwealth from 11 December 1936 to 6 February 1952 as the wife of King George VI. She was the last Empress of India from her husband's accession 1936 until the British Raj was dissolved in August 1947. After her husband died, she was known as Queen Elizabeth The Queen Mother,to avoid confusion with her daughter, Queen Elizabeth II.
@@EliteJamaica Yes, she was Queen...because she was married to the King. She was not Queen Elizabeth I...who was not married to anyone. Queens Elizabeth I and II were considered queens regnant because they were the head...rulers of England. While Queen Mum was a queen, she was not the head of England. Her husband was, which is why after he died, Queen Elizabeth II took over.
@@HummingbirdJa Yes, she was Queen, but what I was correcting was the statement in the video that she was Queen Elizabeth I, which she was not. Queen Elizabeth I lived in the 1500s. What you said is also what said.
For the 1450 bunches he bought for .25c, He spend a total of $ 362.50 So because you did not say a quantity of how much (bunch) was sold for $2.50 I did the math for the whole 1450 bunches. Each bunch that was sold for 2.50 would leave him a total of $3625. So he made $ 3263.50 in profit after deducting the amount he had spend. Now if he had sold all 1450 for $3.25 per (Stem)he would made a total of $4712.50 and after deducting the amount was spend he would have made a profit of $4350 for all 1450 bunches/stems. But I guess we will never know the exact amount that was actually made since we don’t know how many bunches was sold for $2.50 and how many stems was sold for $3.25.
Thank You for taking the time out to reply. It is highly commendable of you considering, the video was uploaded over a year ago. I hope you enjoyed watching it, as much as I enjoyed making the video.
Jamaica people please research your history my jamaica people do you know that all the street names in jamaica and all the parishes in jamaica is named of a European slave owner/ colonizers
# @13:19 Captain Baker would make $3625 if he sold the 1450 stems of bananas at $2:50 from a 25¢ purchase price and $4712.50 if at $3:25 per stem.
Thank you so much, stay blessed
Funny enough this history of Baker exporting bananas to Boston is one of a few pieces of history that was correctly taught in 4th form in high school.
I want to come live in Jamaica 😊❤I love it there and love the people

Very interesting history. Jamaica is beautiful. 🇯🇲
Been waiting for this
@@HummingbirdJa how comes it didn't come up and I subscribe
A very interesting video, thank you Alex for your time and effort well done.
@ 3:59 my understanding is that a protestant family of 15 were given the power to own 400 acres as long as he "bought" 74 of our ancestors to enslave.
Also how is it that the whites were given the privilege to exponentially increase there wealth in land from from 30 acres but blacks/mulatto/indians were not offered the same right 🤔...smh
This is so sobering 😢
Thank you so much for this. I was born in Portland but did not know our history. I left over 30 years ago and barely know much. So, I watch a lot of videos to keep me up to date.
I cannot get enough of your history. I really like your history.

Very interesting 👌 ❤❤
Nanny Town can be seen from Moore Town as a pointed tip along the blue mountain range. I think there is still a trail to it tho.

Anyone know about the Hall family in portland?
Somewhere in archives around the world I am sure there are pictures of what some of those plantations structures were like.
We understand what you said about the 400 acres but this is proof that WS is just a construct. Thank you for your research. So expanded and named for William Henry Cavendish Bentinck, 3rd duke of Portland?
