Personally I think of the Caribbean and its flourishing coral&nbsp;islands with white shores, discovered by Christopher Columbus in 15th century and proclaimed Spanish colonies. Jamaica was&nbsp;one of those tropical&nbsp;islands in the Caribbean. After the years of&nbsp;severe struggle, England defeated Spain and&nbsp;won the island of Jamaica&nbsp;in 1655. Development of plantation system&nbsp;on Jamaica&#8217;s fertile lands&nbsp;required a great deal of manpower, and the Englishmen forced&nbsp;the Indian tribes to toil on the fields of sugar cane. Unfamiliar with&nbsp;hard toil and diseases, the Indians soon became extinct (Black, Clinton V.&nbsp;History of Jamaica).&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<!--more-->\n\n\n\n<p>That&nbsp;was the reason why the black slaves from Africa were brought to work&nbsp;on the sugar&nbsp;cane&nbsp;plantations.&nbsp;Jamaica&#8217;s largest towns, Port Royal and Kingston turned into&nbsp;the centers of slave trade. Slavery grew together with plantation system. By&nbsp;the end of the 18th century,&nbsp;the number of black slaves exceeded the number of white populace. Jamaica became one of the largest suppliers of sugar cane in the world. But brutal&nbsp;attitude, severe punishments and&nbsp;hard toil influenced black slaves to rebel against their planters. During a great number of bloody revolts, the slaves&nbsp;fought for freedom (Craton, Michael.&nbsp;Testing the Chains: Resistance to Slavery in the British West Indies). They deserted&nbsp;fields and founded their own settlements. Production of sugar cane was the main source of income&nbsp;for&nbsp;the island, and it inevitably decreased, due to the lack of labour&nbsp;force.&nbsp;What&#8217;s more,&nbsp;Latin America&#8217;s tense situation around the slavery was growing, and at last&nbsp;the authorities of Jamaica had to&nbsp;proclaim&nbsp;abolition of slavery in 1834.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The economics of Jamaica had to survive&nbsp;through hard times, until the businessmen from the USA came and invested their assets&nbsp;into agricultural&nbsp;development of the island in 1860s (Kurlansky,&nbsp;M., 1992).&nbsp;Banana, coffee and cacao plantations replaced sugar cane fields. Banana farming grew fast and so did the export. The presence of American companies (such as United Fruit Company)&nbsp;became a stimulation&nbsp;for the economy of Jamaica in the 19th century.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong>Works Cited<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left\">Black, Clinton V. 1983.&nbsp;History of Jamaica.
