Abstract
Freedom and oppression of slaves in the 18th century caribbean The characteristics of two different social Systems, island government and the particular master-slave relationship, jointly determined the degree of freedom (or the degree of oppression) of slaves in the late 18th century Caribbean. The degree to which an island was a "slave society" that maximized slave oppression depended in turn on the degree to which it was a sugar island, and on how far thé planters of that island were internally well organized and had a powerful position in the empire government of the island. Thus, on both criteria, the Bahamas, Santo Domingo (now the Dominican Republic), had low planter power Barbados and Antigua high planter power.
