In the 17 CE the Drax family under Sir James Drax, was the part owner of (at least) two slave ships, the Samuel and the Hope. The Family owned the largest sugar plantation in Barbados and is credited as being the architects of slavery-based sugar production. The Caricom Reparations Commission has also noted that they had agents in the African continent to kidnap people to work on their plantations in Barbados and Jamaica. When slavery was abolished in 1833 the Drax family was compensated £4,293 12s 6d, a massive sum for 1836.

Ecco. come possono
