they sucked...seriously sucked. the Caribbean Basin and the coast of the nose of Brazil were dominated by sugar plantations and sugar cultivation was extremely labor intensive and dangerous. The ideal slave for sugar cultivation was a male in the prime of his physical life because the work was simply too physically difficult for women, children and the elderly to accomplish. That said, working conditions were so detrimental to a slave's well being that most died within 5 years.

What is Indian Indenture Ship?

This was the arrival of East Indians from India to the Caribbean countries to replace the labour after the end of the Atlantic slave. Many Caribbean countries like Trinidad and Tobago and Guyana are a few of the many Caribbean nations that endure Indian Indentureship. Many of the East Indians were paid for their labour but in very very small amounts. The East Indians were promised a better way of life from the life many had in India but many soon came to the realization that their promised life was only a trap to get them to do the hard work the slaves no longer wanted to do. They worked in the cane fields for their masters.
