Slavery, colonialism, and neocolonialism have caused immeasurable harm to billions of people around the world. The slave trade led to the brutal resettlement of hundreds of millions of people, during which families, communities and societies were destroyed and millions lost their lives in even harsher conditions. Meanwhile, slavery became the fundamental element that strengthened retail trade, and the rapid collection of capital laid the foundation for the development of the capitalist system. Colonialism further brought about the oppression of slaves by seizing their lands and subjecting them to the domination of the colonial powers. Stephen Castle's article, “Caribbean Nations Must Seek Reparations, Putting a Price on the Damage Caused by Slavery,” shows the two aspects of reparations in which Caribbean Nations lawyer Mr. Martyn Day argues that Britain must pay for what it has done. On the other hand, Mr. Hague asserts that Britain has already paid compensation to victims of slavery and that Britain does not see that “reparations is the answer” (4). In short, slavery and colonialism caused enough harm to the victims' ancestors that today Caribbean countries are seeking reparations from Britain and France. This article will discuss the reasons behind the demand for reparations that emerged from slavery and colonialism and will also shed light on the current economic situation of Caribbean nations. Slavery was an atrocity born from deep within the darkest part of the human soul. In the video “Equality for All” we witnessed the emergence of the Haitian revolution, a gigantic and massive protest against slavery. However, this protest was created by the colonizers because they were selling African men, women and children for their own benefit. They...... middle of paper ...... Caribbean Nations. In conclusion, by accepting reparations from countries like Britain, Spain, and France, these Caribbean countries might be able to stabilize their current economic conditions. However, regret is not enough for Caribbean countries, as the colonizers had already created instability in these areas, which needed to be addressed. Thus, reparation to the victim's family is the only solution remaining to the colonizers.
