By the late 17th century, Barbados had one of the highest concentrations of enslaved Africans in the Americas. It is estimated that there were around 100,000 enslaved individuals on the island by the 1680s, outnumbering the white population significantly. The enslaved population was primarily involved in sugar production, which was the island's main economic activity. This demographic situation contributed to a society deeply rooted in the plantation system and slavery.
