Slavery and Revolution

Nelson’s Caribbean

By Christer Petley |

Sam Willis (@shipwreck_sam), pictured, presents a BBC documentary about Caribbean slavery and the Royal Navy. Thousands of British servicemen died during the wars between Britain and Revolutionary France, defending sugar and slavery in Caribbean islands like Jamaica and Antigua. The documentary includes comments from the editor of the S&R site, Christer Petley. This is the official site, and it is (probably) available on YouTube.
