One of our greatest Founding Fathers, Alexander Hamilton, was born this week (Jan. 11) in either 1755 or 1757; Hamilton gave 1757 as his birth year but probate records support 1755. In either case, Hamilton was born poor and illegitimate on Nevis Island in the British West Indies to a shiftless father, who soon abandoned him, and a poor mother who died when he was (probably) 13.

The new immigrants came to the British West Indies in 1777, and 1778. They lived as free people and accumulated wealth. Slavery ended in the British West Indies in 1835.

The new immigrants had 57 years living as free people to establish their economic and social positions before the indigenous Africans in the British West Indies became free.
Cold War in a Hot Zone pays close attention to the Caribbean Labour Congress (CLC), which, "propelled in 1945 by a wave of labor unrest, sought to organize the working class" and form a labor federation, with the goal of independence and socio-economic equality.

He began to substitute as a teacher, then took the teachers' examination and passed. However, he continued to be a subst...
