Another change was absenteeism – wealthy planters left their plantation in the hands of attorneys and managers and lived lavish lifestyles in England. This often had a negative effect as some managers were inefficient administrators and were cruel to the enslaved people.

needed to have an average of about 150 acres of land to become profitable. The land was divided to accommodate various buildings, sugar cane fields, provision grounds, wooded lands for fuel and timber, and grasslands for livestock.

One of Antigua’s most profitable sugar producers was the Codrington family. It started with Christopher Codrington II who left Barbados to find his fortune in the Leeward Islands.

He settled in Antigua and established several plantations on the island. The most notable property being the Betty’s Hope plantation. While he was not the first person to produce sugar on the island, he became one of the most innovative, and largest sugar producers in the island.

The sugar revolution helped to bring an end to the proprietary system of government. The crown recognised the economic value that the colonies offered England and by c.1664, the proprietorship system was replaced by crown-appointed governors. This move gave the English crown more direct control over the governance, and the revenue, or money, that colonies should make. Over time, the English crown imposed an economic system called mercantilism on its colonies. This was where England controlled the trading of goods with any other countries other than itself. Navigational laws were passed to ensure that only English ships could be used to ship goods to England.

Case study Betty’s Hope Plantation

The English government guaranteed a protected market for its colonies and military protection from foreign attackers.

Antigua’s rugged coast line made it possible for natural harbours to be identified and built up. The most prominent being the Nelson’s Dockyard.

Betty’s Hope.

Codrington was able to develop the 700-acreplantation into one of the most profitable sugar producers on the island, worked by slave labour. Betty’s Hope remained in in the Codrington family until 1944. Today the windmills, cistern and the foundations of some of the original structures remain as monuments to the estate that once existed there.

Forts were constructed around the island, with a flag alert system which could alert the island of any invasion within 15 minutes. The remnants of forts such as Fort James, Fort Barrington, Monks Hill and Fort Berkley can still be seen today.

colourism

Antigua became mainly a monocrop or a one-crop society. The little food crops that were grown were not enough to feed the increasing population. This led to the importation of food and this practice remains today. The clearing of the land also led to the deforestation of the island. Soon the whole island was under sugarcane cultivation which led to the eventual decline of soil quality.

Collins History of Antigua and Barbuda

For thousands of years, sugarcane was cultivated and used as a sweetener in Southeast Asian countries like India.

capital

Sugar required a large labour force and the few enslaved Kalinago people and indentured servants or contract workers from England was not enough labour for such a large-scale operation. Therefore, the English began to access enslaved Africans from Africa to provide labour. This supply of labour was reliable and inexhaustible. This led to a society where race, wealth, whether one is free or bond, and colourism or the shade of a person’s skin, or racial mixture decided the social hierarchy. Another outcome was that the Black population began to increase while the White population declined.

absenteeism

The sugar revolution brought many changes to Antigua. The price of land increased and many small farmers sold their small farms to larger sugar producers. Only the very wealthy or those who could get credit survived the transition from tobacco to sugar.

The plantation we know as Betty’s Hope was founded around 1650. Its original owner was Governor Keynall who died and left the estate to his wife. In 1666 when the island was captured by the French, many land owners fled from the island for their safety.

After the island was returned to the British in 1667, the British government cancelled the right to all land claimants by passing the Reconstruction Act of 1668, giving Governor William Willoughby the opportunity to hand over the rights of the estate to Christopher Codrington II in 1668.

Unit 10: The world around us

Reasons for Caribbean integration

We are learning to:

Common history and culture

• examine reasons for the existence of the Caribbean as a region • suggest ways of strengthening Caribbean integration.

Because of these similarities, the countries of the Caribbean benefit from joining together as a single region.

Reasons for Caribbean integration

For example, the most popular sport in the West Indies is cricket. The British originally brought the game to the West Indies under colonial rule. The earliest cricket matches took place in the early 1800s, among officers of the British military.

Sometimes countries from an area join together to cooperate as a group. This is known as regional integration.

Each territory in the Caribbean is very small, with limited resources and a tiny population in comparison to its more powerful neighbours in North and South America. There are several reasons that the territories of this region have agreed to cooperate as a unified region: • • •

Cricket became a symbol of the Caribbean people’s struggle to be free of colonisation. In the early days cricket clubs were white-only, and slaves were not allowed to take part. Black players were forced to found their own clubs.

This changed as inter-island competitions became more frequently organised. The competitions brought together people of all backgrounds from each island as they shared the desire to see their home island win.

geography of the region common history integration movements including sporting and economic agreements.

Geography of the region Compared with their larger neighbours, the territories of the Caribbean need to join together in order to represent a larger collection of people. They share the same geographic location and many of the same geographical features: • •

•

island geography – large areas of coastline as a result of being surrounded on all sides by the sea tropical rainforests – most of the territories have tropical climates with tropical rainforest vegetation and diverse species of plants and animals hazards such as storms, hurricanes and earthquakes.

The West Indies cricket team from 1933.

As Caribbean society became more democratic and integrated, the West Indian cricket team became a reflection of that integration. The West Indies produces many highly talented cricket players, which helps improve national pride.

Activity

1. Which of the following types of habitat are most commonly found in the Caribbean region?

Write a reflective journal entry titled ‘I love living in the Caribbean’.

Highlight at least three aspects of the Caribbean region that you love.

3. The Caribbean region is situated near the Tropic of Cancer. Suggest four ways that this affects the geography of the region.

4. Why do you think cricket is so popular in the Caribbean?

5. At first, cricket was a game for the colonial ‘masters’ and the slaves were not allowed to play. What changed this?

6. Explain what you understand by regional integration in sport.

This picture was taken at Pigeon Point, Tobago. Most islands in the Caribbean have similar coastal vegetation because of the location of the Caribbean region.

The many small islands each face the challenge of limited resources, as well as vulnerability to natural disasters.

By working together as a region, the territories of the Caribbean are better able to manage the challenges of their geographical resources.

The countries of the Caribbean share many similarities such as history, language and culture. The effects of globalisation have affected the islands of the Caribbean in similar ways, and many of the islands share similar social problems.

Agriculture For many years the Caribbean region has largely been dependent on agriculture for food security, income generation and employment. It is important that countries are able to feed their own population, and also benefit economically from the crops and animals that are exported within and outside the region.

Agriculture uses a lot of human labour, for example in Dominica where bananas, citrus, coconuts and cocoa are produced. In 2010, it was estimated that 31% of the male labour force in Dominica was employed in agricultural work. The Figure 10.12 A banana plantation in Dominica industry has diversified to include hydroponic and aquaponic systems growing and of soil. As innovative methods of planting, use the without water in plants to grow has the right needs to be offered to ensure the workforce harvesting crops become available, training skills. a number of challenges: faces Caribbean the in sector agricultural The

Belize, Guyana, Barbados, Jamaica, Panama and St. Lucia all aimed to recognise sustainable fishing practices which can support the industry, aquaculture and tourism.

According to the World Bank, the blue economy is the ‘sustainable use of ocean resources for economic growth, improved livelihoods, and jobs while preserving the health of ocean ecosystem.’

Mining Mining is the extraction of minerals from the ground, such as gold, Figure 10.14 Bauxite mine in Guyana bauxite and diamonds in Guyana.

Agriculture is sometimes stigmatized in the region as an industry for less-educated, poorer individuals. Regional governments and the private sector should work to alter the negative impression of agriculture to attract younger workers into the sector.

– oil refining – food and beverage processing – vehicle production – clothing manufacturing

Fishing The fishing industry is very important to the Caribbean region. In Belize, fishing is done both for subsistence (for use by the fisherman and his family) and for export which supports the economy. Fish is a main be source of protein and the sector needs to protected from overfishing and illegal fishing.

These industries require a skilled labour force and management who can work to develop the product competitively. They must also find ways to reduce costs and enhance the quality of the final product.

The writer describes a key moment or crisis – the highest level of tension – when the problem is faced or the conflict comes to a boiling point.

For better or worse, the reader finds out what the outcome was (was the main character successful in overcomi ng the problem, or were they damaged by it?)

Unicellular organisms

We are learning how to:

Yeast reproduce by a process called budding. New cells grow from existing cells. If you look carefull y at Fig 5.5 you will see that some of the yeast cells appear to be growing tiny buds. Each new small cell grows and then separates from its parent cell.

Activity 5.1 Observing yeast cells

Key terms

Living organisms like human beings are described as multicellular because they consist of many millions of cells.

Some very simple organisms consist of only one cell and are called unicellular. A unicellular organism carries out all of the activities of a living thing.

You have already seen one unicellu lar organism, Euglena, on page 47. We are going to look at some more examples.

5.2 Fun fact At one time, the living world was classified by scientists into two kingdoms: plants and animals. Unicellular organisms were classified as either animals or plants, depending on which they most closely resembled. The amoeba was considered to be an animal while Euglena was considered to be a plant.

Eventually, scientists realised that unicellular organisms did not really fit either of these kingdoms.

The classification of the living world was revised to give the five kingdoms we have today. Unicellular organisms now have their own kingdom, called Protista.
