∙ 7y ago
Most of the people in the Carribean who live in countries formerly controlled by the British, French, or Dutch or still territories under their control are of AFRICAN ORIGIN. Large numbers of African slaves were brought to the Carribean in order to grow the lucrative crops of sugarcane, tobacco, and cotton. Sugarcane, especially, requires intense and continuous labor, which led to the high demand for African slaves.
