The Barbadian Connection

Today were gonna talk about how the Caribbean and Barbadian people have influenced the Carolinas, especially Charleston. As the Lords Proprietors sent out the Barbados Proclamation, inviting those interested in leaving the island to undertake an expedition back to Charles Town. The Carolinas essentially became the "Colony of a Colony" a Colony of Barbados. The early Barbadian government was promulgated through the Anglican Church, the Epsicopal Church in the Carolinas. In the early history of Barbados it was illegal to educate the enslaved as it was the Carolinas. Religious groups such as the Society of Quakers, the Society fro the Propagation of the Gospel, and the Moravian Church were some of the early groups to violate those laws. To communicate enslaved Africans who were captured from different parts of West Africa and spoke different languages came up with a language that mixed West African and English dialects known as Bajan in Barbados and Gullah in the Carolinas.    Come Join the Facebook page at Whispers of Charleston : https://www.facebook.com/share/1Kwy2wNjtH/  Follow the Instagram page : https://www.instagram.com/whispers_of_charleston?utm_source=qr&igsh=MXY2dnNma3NycHF0ZQ==  Come Join the Facebook Group : https://www.facebook.com/share/g/1HTUeeqqK4/  Subscribe, Like, and Share the videos: www.youtube.com/@WhispersofCharleston  Join the Patreon Family : https://patreon.com/CharlestonWhispers?utm_medium=unknown&utm_source=join_link&utm_campaign=creatorshare_creator&utm_content=copyLink
