slavery in BELIZE

Picture
Origins: The earliest record of enslaved Africans in the Settlement at the Bay of Honduras (Belize) is from a Spanish missionary in 1724. He reported they had been "introduced but a short time before from Jamaica and Bermuda."

Most of the enslaved Africans were brought to Belize by the British in the late 18th century from the West Indies. Often they came through "markets" in Jamaica but some were brought directly from Africa or from the United States.

At that time most of the enslaved Africans were taken from the Niger and Cross Delta regions in the Bight of Benin (present day Nigeria) in West Africa and from further south in the Congo and Angola.

In 1850 enslaved Africans in Belize still identified themselves according to the tribes they came from in Africa. It was stated that there were in Belize "Congoes, Nangoes, Mongolas, Ashantees, Eboes...." One section of Belize Town was know through the first half of the 19th Century as Eboe Town.

“The land has an owner?  How’s that?  How is it to be sold?  How is it to be bought?  If it does not belong to us, well, what?  We are of it.  We are its children.  So it is always, always.  The land is alive.  As it nurtures the worms, so it nurtures us.  It has bones and blood.  It has milk and gives us suck.  It has hair, grass straw, trees.  It knows how to give birth to potatoes.  It brings to birth houses.  It brings to birth people.  It looks after us and we look after it.  It drinks chicha, accepts our invitation.  We are its children.  How is it to be sold?  How bought?”

Olaudah Equiano 
(c. 1745 – 31 March 1797),
 known in his lifetime as Gustavus Vassa was a writer and abolitionist from the Igbo region of what is today southeastern Nigeria according to his memoir, or from South Carolina according to other sources. Enslaved as a child, he was taken to the Caribbean and sold as a slave to a captain in the Royal Navy, and later to a Quaker trader. Eventually, he earned his own freedom in 1766 by intelligent trading and careful savings. He was a prominent abolitionist in the British movement to end the Atlantic slave trade. His autobiography, The Interesting Narrative of the Life Of Olaudah Equiano, published in 1789, helped in the creation of the Slave Trade Act 1801 which ended the transatlantic slave trade for Britain and its colonies.

The various narratives about the early Settlement of the Bay of Honduras most often focuses on the British and their Pirate/Buccaneer ways. However, very little is done to put into context the African peoples who were enslaved by the British and brought to work in the forests of Belize. By 1790 over 90% of the population of the British settlement were Africans. It should also be noted that the Maya were not factored in on the official census.

Before we examine slavery in Belize it is important to know something about West Africa at the time of the Trans Atlantic Trade system developed by the Europeans.

​
The map covers what is approximately the northern half of modern Belize (from Dangriga northwards), which was then the focus of British interest in the region. While far from being scientifically precise, the map is nevertheless broadly accurate, with major features placed roughly in the correct place and interrelation, rendering the map of considerable practical use.

AMERICA 1491

 When the Europeans stepped ashore in 1492, millions of people were already living HERE. America wasn't exactly a "New World," but a very old one whose inhabitants had built a vast infrastructure of cities, civilisations,  orchards, canals and causeways.

COAT OF ARMS

1929                                                                                                   2018 
The coat of arms of Belize was adopted upon independence, and the current coat of arms is somewhat different from that used when Belize was a British colony.
​
The circular border of the coat is formed by fifty leaves. Within the circle is a mahogany tree, in front of which is a shield tierced per pall inverted. Within the shield are the tools of a woodcutter in the upper sections and a ship in the lower one. These are symbolic of the importance of mahogany in the 18th- and 19th-century Belizean economy.
​
The shield is supported by two men of different shades of brown. The one on the left is holding an axe, while the one on the right is holding an oar. Again the importance of the mahogany and its importance to boat building are represented.

At the bottom is the national motto: SUB UMBRA FLOREO ("Under the shade I flourish").
​
The flag of Belize features the coat of arms in its centre.
