Describe the two (2) methods by which slaves were sold on arrival in Jamaica

Once they arrived in Jamaica, the Africans were prepared for sale. They were
washed and their skin was oiled. Finally, they were sold to local buyers. Often
parents were separated from children, and husbands from wives.

They also hold auctions to sell them where they would bit on them depending on
the condition of the slave.

2. How was sugar produced on the Sugar plantation?

To produce sugar on the plantation the ground had to be prepared, it had to be
dug, hoed, weeded, planted and then fertilized with manure. They then harvested
the sugar canes and loaded them onto carts to take them to the sugar mill where
it was crushed and boiled to extract a brown, sticky juice. The sugar juice was left
in barrels until a brown syrup called molasses could be drawn off. This was used
to make another of the Caribbean exports - rum. The clearer sugar was left
behind, which would then be packed into barrels and shipped to Europe. The
juice taken from crushed sugar cane would sour and spoil within 24 hours.
Enslaved people had to process it in the cane mills as soon as it was produced.

3. Explain the manufacture of white rum.

Rum is produced by fermentation and distillation of sugar cane molasses. After
the sugar cane is harvested, it will be loaded onto carts to take it to the sugar mill
where it was crushed and boiled to extract a brown, sticky juice. The sugar juice
was left in barrels until a brown syrup called molasses could be drawn off. This
was used to make another of the Caribbean exports - rum.
