How did Christianity come to the Caribbean?

Answer 1

When Columbus set foot on West Indies, now known as the Caribbean. I wrote "set foot" because Columbus did not discover the Caribbean. It was already populated when he went there. The Spanish kingdom established in the Caribbean a political system called the "Encomienda system" where they employed governors over the Caribbean lands. They were called "conquistadores". One of their many responsibilities was to convert the indigenous population to Christianity.

In the caribbean, such a system was set up in Cuba, Puerto Rico, Hispanola and Trinidad.

Answer 2

Hinduism came to the Caribbean with the migration of Indian workers to that area after the abolition of Slavery in 1834. Along with Hinduism, the Indians also brought cuisine, such as pungent curries, and ganja, which are important contributions to Caribbean culture. While Indian and Hindu influence can be found through out the British West Indies they are most pronounced on the island of Trinidad.
