Why Christianity is practice so widely in Jamaica and in the Caribbean?
* Christianity was brought to Jamaica by the British settlers and plantation owners. Their slaves were required to convert to Christianity. The descendants of those slaves are today's Christian Jamaicans. * Christianity grew in Jamaica partly due to the European missionaries support for the emancipated slaves. The desire for freedom, the solace and hope offered, and the teachings of Christianity spurred the drive for emancipation and thus Christianity was adopted by many slaves. Some missionaries worked alongside the slaves on plantations. Plantation owners were often against missionaries and destroyed the worship places of Christian slaves. A major uprising by slaves was led by a Baptist preacher, but brutally subdued. Persecution, as is often the case, led to more slaves accepting Christianity and this was passed down through the generations.
