Description: | Extract from 'A True and Exact History of Barbados,' written by Richard Ligon. He describes the structure of the society, and writes about the customs and activities of the inhabitants. Ligon divides the inhabitants into three groups: 'Masters,' 'Servants' and 'Slaves.' In this section he describes the work, dwellings and treatment of the latter two groups, concluding (contrary to his own evidence) that the sugar planters on the island treated their slaves far better than they did their servants. | License: | http://www.bl.uk/services/copy/permission.html | Publisher: | Humphrey Moseley | Rights holder: | British Library | Source: | Collect Britain | Creator: | Ligon, Richard | Identifier: | http://www.collectbritain.co.uk/personal... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
