History of Jamaica

- The Caribbean island of Jamaica was initially inhabited in approximately 600 AD or 650 AD by the Redware people, often associated with redware pottery. By roughly 800 AD, a second wave of inhabitance occurred by the Arawak tribes, including the Tainos, prior to the arrival of Columbus in 1494. Early inhabitants of Jamaica named the land "Xaymaca", meaning "land of wood and water". The Spanish enslaved the Arawak, who were ravaged further by diseases that the Spanish brought with them. Early historians believe that by 1602, the Arawak-speaking Taino tribes were extinct. However, some of the Taino escaped into the forested mountains of the interior, where they mixed with runaway African slaves, and survived free from first Spanish, and then English, rule.
The Spanish also transported hundreds of West African people to the island. However, the majority of Africans were brought into Jamaica by the English.
In 1655, the English invaded Jamaica, and defeated the Spanish. Some African slaves took advantage of the political turmoil and escaped to the island's interior mountains, forming independent communities which became known as the Maroons. Meanwhile, on the coast, the English built the settlement of Port Royal, a base of operations where piracy flourished as so many European rebels had been rejected from their countries to serve sentences on the seas. Captain Henry Morgan, a plantation owner and Welsh privateer, raided settlements and shipping bases in Port Royal, earning him his reputation as one of the richest Pirates in the Caribbean.
In the 18th century, sugar cane replaced piracy as British Jamaica's main source of income. The sugar industry was labour-intensive and the British brought hundreds of thousands of enslaved black Africans to the island. By 1850, the black & mulatto Jamaican population outnumbered the white population by a ratio of twenty to one. Enslaved Jamaicans mounted over a dozen major uprisings during the 18th century, including Tacky's Revolt in 1760. There were also periodic skirmishes between the British and the mountain communities of the Jamaican Maroons, culminating in the First Maroon War of the 1730s and the Second Maroon War of 1795-1796.
Pre-Columbian Jamaica
The first inhabitants of Jamaica probably came from islands to the east in two waves of migration. About 600 CE the culture known as the “Redware people” arrived. Little is known of these people, however, beyond the red pottery they left behind. Alligator Pond in Manchester Parish and Little River in St. Ann Parish are among the earliest known sites of this Ostionoid person, who lived near the coast and extensively hunted turtles and fish.

There are Taino descendants in Xamayca today. My friend is one of them.
My grandfather is a maroon and my grandmother is a Taino
My grandmother was a native Taino.
Loving this one thanks for sharing very information blessed love to all knowledge is power hopefully everyone pays attention keep up the good work 🙏🏿🙏🏿🙏🏿🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲
Thanks for the information about Jamaica. I was familiar with most of the information you relayed as my grand parents taught me about the past and the atrocities done to the people of Jamaica by the British slave masters. The Arawak Indian make up a part of my ancestors as my father's great 😀😃grand mother is a descendant of the Taino or the Arawak Indians. 😃😄
It's funny how the history books skip rite over the Sephardic era and hide who the Arawak people really were
Can you point me to a good video on this? Thanks.
@@derrikferguson3219 check out Kurimeo here on UA-cam. He has hundreds of videos so you have to sift a little. check out videos he made 8 months to a year ago. One of my favorites is the Jewish Pirates of the Caribbean
@@HorsedeadCowfat Hey thanks!
I've watch his videos, he's really great at what he does.
My bad, I meant I watch his videos.
The Jamaica flag....it is the only flag in the world that doesn't have white....red or blue in it.
These pictures are very bad and do not truly represent Jamaica or the people. These are stock pictures and not true pictures of Jamaica and the people.
Love history of Jamaica and Cuban Island and rip Bob Marley.
Joe Biden has dementia
Irony of it all the Arawak's are still here.. we are the Arawaks and have been navigating these waters for eons along with our African brothers and sisters.. get the TRUE HISTORY
In
Whatever Arawaks that were in Jamaica got assimilated into the African population
You look black not native, but okay?
🙄..whatever..get YOUR facts right
@@georgeprendergast8305 please don't comment white man, we wouldn't be in this mess if it wasn't for your European ancestors who took Africans and enslaved them for centuries on these islands. No reparations paid. Please keep your opinions to yourself.
Cool
Just a computer reading Wikipedia

Jamaicans are not hippies our culture is very different, you will be getting there on your own. its time we went our separate ways because you have more than demonstrated that you do not know better.
Thanks you so much 🇯🇲🇯🇲🇯🇲👍🤔🙅♀️🙆♀️🫢🙏
These long time video
Certainly colourful history which I wasn't aware of until viewing this informative documentary portraying several resistances from "native" inhabitants who obviously resented colonialism from British ubiquitous psyche that it has a "God" given right to imperialise any country adding to the great pink map before other European countries took it anyway. "Keep calm and decolonise" Buffy Sainte Marie says currently and this displays the struggle without end that continues ad infinitum.

And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment: (Heb 9:27)
For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God: Not of works, lest any man should boast. (Ephesians 2:8-9)
The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. (2 Peter 3:9)
I tell you, Nay: but, except ye repent, ye shall all likewise perish. (Luke 13:5)
Jamaica walkby
This makes the maroons look 👀 so horrible 😦
False history.
Just here wondering if real Jamaican believe this HIS Tory. Stop waiting on other people to tell YOUR tory.
incredibly annoying narrator. 17 seconds and I'm off.
Shockingly repetitive 😏
Absolute rubbish,
There was no Awawak people there. Jamaica was popularised by the Carebs
Actually, as a student of History, I can only tell u what is documented because none of us were there. However, Jamaica was inhabited by the Arawaks. There were no Caribs here. The Caribs inhabited areas in the Lesser Antilles.
@@amandamiller9353 as an American I wanted to know how accurate was this video?
@@amandamiller9353 Trinidad.
Arawak, Taino, Carib, lucayo are all Carib people.
PNP is a great government
