Xaymaca--> Jamaiqua ---> Jamaica! Jamaica holds a special place in my heart as a Nigerian. Some of the enslaved people brought in from Africa were from Nigeria. the Eboes /Igbos
Incredibly important: you didn't mention the Irish slaves that were introduced by Oliver Cromwell in the 1650s. Today, many Jamaicans identify as having Irish heritage, as the Irish indentured and west African slaves at one point coexisted under British rule.
Let me correct you there the Irish will NEVER SLAVES they were INDENTURED SERVANTS who were able to win the Freedom when they served a certain amount of years. The Irish were not treated the same as the Blacks the blacks were slaves for Life no freedom Until Death white people will never slaves in the Caribbean
@: Jamaica is a Black African majority population. mixed race people, Asians & lastly descendants of colonizers who never went back home (Irish included) 2: Irish indentured servants & Black African chattel slaves aren't the same thing. We're different 🤦🏿♂️ After they were no longer indentured servants these Irish would become overseers & slave owners themselves. Becoming an oppressor like their English neighbors.
Just last year I went back to visit JA. One of On of my aunt told me. her father my grandfather family came to JA on ships from India by the English and split up in all the parishes. My cousin by father side. Also the same from other countries countries 🤔
Jamaica has alway been a country all the big countries are in the greater Antilles, and all the island like my island is in the smaller Antilles, anything that is over 50 square miles is a country anything less is an island 🏝 like my island which is only 39,1/2 square miles,

A good overview. Very comprehensive. Christopher Columbus discovered the Caribbean for the Spanish but he saw Indians when he got there. So why a Columbus Day??
Columbus Day came centuries later in the USA. The Knight's of Columbus used their connections with the White House back in the 20th century to make it a holiday.
You know, when I was at school doing social studies, I was told that an island was surrounded by water. So, how can Jamaica become a country? I believe this title needs to be changed. Wrong message.
Jamaica is not a country it's resources and people are in fact still owned by private corporations l. It's a corporstocracy. So Who's emancipation and What independence are you actually talking about?
@@carlabraham4857 I'm not "trying" I was clear. The country does not have government for the people but governance by people who are vested in profit for shareholders. The majority stake in the country is not owned by the people but by the same monied/ corporate classes which controlled the resources during the era of kidnapping human trafficking and brutalized enforced free labor,, so who's independence is it?

In God, all should put there trust.

Could be a reason "Fletcher" is a last name there when it has Irish background meaning arrow maker

No Gold was found yet. Until now. We have both Gold and Oil

Still no gold or oil. Don't be delusional. The oil deposits are too small, and gold, what gold where is it.
Just last year I went back to visit JA. One of On of my aunt told me. her father my grandfather family came to JA on ships from India by the English and split up in all the parishes. My cousin by father side. Also the same from other countries countries 🤔

Jamaica has alway been a country all the big countries are in the greater Antilles, and all the island like my island is in the smaller Antilles, anything that is over 50 square miles is a country anything less is an island 🏝 like my island which is only 39,1/2 square miles,

Are you knowledgeable about the 13 tribes of Israel?
A good overview. Very comprehensive.
Christopher Columbus discovered the Caribbean for the Spanish but he saw Indians when he got there.
So why a Columbus Day??
He found out something he did not know. Columbus never discovered Jamaica; he, to put it mildly, became aware of the island.
Columbus Day came centuries later in the USA.
The Knight's of Columbus used their connections with the White House back in the 20th century to make it a holiday.
big lie he didn't discover anything fake news lie lie
No English-speaking Caribbean island has ever celebrated Columbus Day,
Jamaica is a island. Not a country because it surrounded by sea 🌊
All the ignoramuses displaying their ignorance on this page.
…what 💀💀💀 a country is a sovereign land ruled by its own government free of another. an island is a geographic entity. you’re not smart.
IT IS NOT; AND WILL NEVER BE A COUNTRY.
Why?
Mmmmmmmmm 😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮😮
People the fool will all ways fool the wise will all ways wise the wise men make money but the fool spent iit
Pennsylvania was named after a pencil and Jamaicans are Irish....okay
This AI Annunciation and Pronunciation is horrible with certain words 😢
Plantation plantation island not a country
You know, when I was at school doing social studies, I was told that an island was surrounded by water. So, how can Jamaica become a country? I believe this title needs to be changed. Wrong message.
Do a simple Google search on what is a country. 😢😢
What is a Country??
Island is geography.
Country is geopolitical.
Australia is a continent and a country.
Holy shit maybe you need to go back to school 😭😭😭

What are you trying to say ?

Confirm what your saying.
Most disappointing video on the channel to date! 😢
Expected something more "captivating"
I dont think thats factual. I think that jamaican that up
Jamaica W.I. is not a country but an Island in the Caribbean.
