Yessir! And to date, he's suffered not one successful contradiction! Mrs McMillan - may she rest in peace - taught me from early it was all bull, those analyses that placed the Quakers and Fox, Wilberforce and all these fine christian English gentlemen as saviours! Then could not explain the 'compensation' paid to the slaveholders but nothing for the slaves! To this day if I want to be irritated for something, I read the "Queen's Advice to the peasantry of Jamaica". Yessir, Dr. Williams' book was at the beginning of my journey to skepticism. Doubt first.

Our history books in school tried to tell us the emancipation has moral underpinning. Capitalism and Slavery eloquently and accurately dubunked this theory and threw it out the window. Happy Anniversary to Trinidad and Tobago.

Congratulations to my Trini relatives and friends on reaching this milestone. And many thanks for linking this video, Cintra.
What some might not know is that Eric Williams was also a preeminent scholar. In fact on my reading his 'Capitalism and Slavery', it forever shifted my perceptions on some of the actors in that 'peculiar institution'.
