During the seventh century, in both the English and French Islands a change occurred in a basic cash crop. This change was rapid and so widespread that the word ‘revolutionary’ be fitting to describe it. This was not only a cause but a consequence of demographic revolution. “A shift from diversified agriculture to sugar monoculture, from production on small farms to large plantations, from free to slave labor, from sparse to dense settlement, from white to black populations, and from low to high value per capita output,” the sugar revolution changed the Lesser Antilles forever. It is said that we became the cockpit of Europe.
