Barbados 1661: The Slave Code Behind Washington Black


What supports Washington Black's flight is a legal system developed to keep him grounded. In 1661, Barbados enacted the Slave Code and ended up being Britain's very first servant society. The island's method travelled, shaping rules and practices across the English Caribbean and beyond. Our 56-second trailer condenses that story: sugar and statute, empire and enforcement, and the human actions that declined to disappear. The companion article keeps it clear and practical, with links to sources, timelines, and locations you can still check out today, from windmill towers to coral-stone boiling homes. If you are curious about how a small island might influence the larger Atlantic world, this is a succinct beginning point with strong references.



See the history behind the fiction in under a minute.
