Between 1502 and 1518, Spain shipped out hundreds of Spanish-born Africans, called Ladinos[SOUND ALOT LIKE LATINOS HMMMMM], to work as labourers, especially in the mines. In 1518 the first shipment of African-born slaves was sent to the West Indies. The Spaniards, although major purchasers of slaves, did not trade on the African coast until the late 1700s. However, it is estimated that 95 percent of the African slaves transported to the New world from the 15th to the 19th century were sent to Latin America and the Caribbean. In total, the Spanish colonies received about 2 million.Spanish laws designed to protect treasure fleets from South and Central America kept the number of slaves brought to Spanish colonies very low. Flotas would depart once each year, and few ships would come in bearing slaves. These restrictive laws kept the slave populations extremely low on Cuba and Puerto Rico until the 1760s.
In 1762 the British took Havana, Cuba. During this time more than 10,000 slaves - a number that would have taken 20 years to import on other islands - were brought in to the port. This change is almost directly related to the opening of Spanish slave trade to other powers in the 18th century .
The first larger group of slaves (300) arrive in Cuba in 1520 PLUS the Spanish introduced slavery to Jamaica,1655 Throughout the Caribbean, slavery was associated with sugar plantations. Sugar production made each island a single-crop economy, entirely dependent upon colonial trade. Large numbers of slaves worked on huge plantations and slave communities developed. As the slave population increased, large black majorities developed who were ruled by white minorities. This became the typical Caribbean society, divided by race, culture, and class.
In Belize, slaves were used for logging. Therefore, slavery and Belizean society developed differently from other parts of the Caribbean where slaves and their families worked and lived in plantations. Slaves in Belize worked in scattered gangs in the forests, separated from their families in Belize City.
But there were similarities. Belizean masters had control over the lives of their slaves, and treated them like mere property. But because of the kind of work they did slaves were able to maintain some control over their lives. African slaves were the majority of the population before the middle of the 18th century. An early census in 1790 showed that three quarters of the population were slaves, a tenth white, and the rest were free blacks and people of mixed races. Hundreds more slaves were brought to Belize before the slave trade was ended in 1807.
