User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

compare the 1816 revot in barbados to the 1831 revolt in jamaica. by someone.... Before 1816 (in 1640 to be exact) the sugar industry was big. Africans were brought to be slave in these industries. Yet, in 1816 slave by the name of Bussa rebelled, many slaves rebelled with him. 1/5 of the industries were destroyed during the rebellion. Also during this time 176 slaves including Bussa died. 214 slaves got excuteed. On the bright side in 1834 Thanks to Bussa, te slavery upon these Africans was demolished, then and now Bssa is a hero in Barbados. BY: Girly girl 1617. PS: I only know all this because I am doing a project about Barbados and to me Bussa is a hero.

Where can one buy all inclusive holiday packages to Barbados?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

There are many "deals" available in Barbados, however, the most reliable and safe bet is probably by reading reviews and advice on Trip Advisor. Although Barbados is a beautiful and breathtaking vacation spot, the language barrier and high crime rate mean that tourists can be taken advantage of or conned. Stick with established vacation spots.
