Capitalism and Slavery

Pregnant women would give birth to children down there.

The great Dr. Eric Williams, first prime minister of Trinidad and Tobago, in his book Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1943, said it was like the transportation of black cattle.

He said every person in the slave ship had less room than a man in a coffin.

And there we are, buried in our own waste.

Yeah.

But it is not because Eric Williams made this point or made these points in his book, Capitalism and Slavery in 1944.

Correct.

Tying British industrial and financial growth to Caribbean slavery.
