St. Vincent, 1828-1938
Collection: Caribbean Colonial Statistics from the British Empire, 1824–1950 Volumes St. Vincent, 1828-1938
First settled by indigenous Amerindians, St Vincent was colonized by the French in the early 18th century, but ceded to the British in the 1783 treaty of Versailles. As with Grenada, St Vincent?s slaves were freed in 1834 without the 4 year apprenticeships experienced elsewhere. In 1862 the former slaves and their descendants rose-up in a labourers? rebellion. St Vincent would be one of the last colonies to gain its independence, achieving independence in 1979. These Blue Books commence 6 years before the end of slavery in St Vincent.
