Slavery

Jamaicans should know their country’s history Imperialism, European Colonialism, Indentureship as well as African slavery Centuries ago when our ancestors were trapped in misery The days when our country was once ruled by the Spaniards Natives of Spain Dela Vega city, Sevilla la Nueva are few cities remembered in our brain They tortured the peaceful Amerindians with hard labour and pain We should always remember the days when our country was governed by the British colony A country that trapped our ancestors in agony Once ruled by the mother country England White slave masters force their traditions, values and culture on our land We fought for justice We fought for freedom We fought for the end of slavery All of these were done through our national hero’s courage and bravery.
