More information about the video content bellow:
1. Anguilla was colonized by British settlers from St. Christopher (St. Kitts) in 1650 and has been a British territory since that time. It is likely that some of these early Europeans brought enslaved Africans with them. Most people who live in Anguilla are the black people. It is about 90.08 percent from the whole population. Hey are the descendants of the African transported slaves.
2. In 1882, Anguilla was united with St. Christopher and Nevis as a single British dependent colony. The inhabitants resisted the alliance with several protests and attempts to separate from the association with St. Christopher. Results were finally achieved in 1967 when the Anguillans ejected the St. Christopher policemen and declared the country's independence, refusing to further recognize the authority of the state government of St. Christopher. After two years of negotiations, British troops were sent in to establish control of the island. In 1980, the country was officially separated from Nevis and St. Christopher and placed under direct British rule; in 1982 a new Anguillan constitution was ratified.
3. Though not the most accessible Caribbean island, that is precisely why this British Overseas Territory is so appealing. There are other reasons too, of course. Anguilla also lays claim to some of the finest beaches in the region, as well as some of the most luxurious hotels. It’s not exactly the cheapest place, that’s for sure. The island’s true riches though lie below the waves, where you find spectacular coral reef formations and a staggering diversity of marine life.
4. Anguilla’s capital is The Valley. There, all government offices and banks (main branches) are situated. It is also located almost exactly in the middle of the island.
5. Favourable tax rates have earned Anguilla a reputation as a place to hide away the dollars. Anguilla's thin arid soil being largely unsuitable for agriculture, the island has few land-based natural resources. Its main industries are thus tourism, offshore incorporation and management, offshore banking. Anguilla has become a popular tax haven, having no capital gains, estate, profit or other forms of direct taxation on either individuals or corporations. In April 2011, faced with a mounting deficit, it introduced a 3% "Interim Stabilisation Levy", Anguilla's first form of income tax.
6. Hot throughout the year, the islands are tempered by trade winds in local areas. The average rainfall for the year is 89 cm, but be aware that the hurricane season is from July to November.
7. Boat racing has deep roots in Anguillian culture and is one of the defining characteristics of the island. It’s the national sport. There are regular sailing regattas on national holidays, such as Carnival, which are contested by locally built and designed boats. These boats have names and have sponsors that print their logo on their sails.

Stfu. You can't do anything
if you check the geneology of Anguilla you 90% statement is wrong, your statement is based on what you eyesight sees, but DNA will prove different
To clear things up, this video is problematic as you are misguided and politically incorrect. You stated that African slaves were brought to Anguilla. Rather, Africans were brought by force against their will, and enslaved in the Caribbean which includes Anguilla. This documentary spreads misinformation, and contribute to European propaganda about people of African descent in the Caribbean. You may be unaware, but it contributes to rewriting a people’s diaspora and many will find it offensive.
