BARBADOS UNCOVERED: Exploring Global Connections Across the Atlantic World, 1640-1840

“Barbados and the Inter-Colonial Exchange with Boston, East New Jersey, and Newport” presented by Dr. Seth Kamil.

Barbados was central to the formation of early inter-colonial trading networks within the Americas. Boston, East New Jersey, and Newport were three major entrepôts that developed sophisticated exchange systems to feed the sugar empire of Barbados and then throughout the Atlantic World. This presentation will compare the three North American regions and their economic and capital engagement with Barbados.
