Collection: Caribbean Colonial Statistics from the British Empire, 1824-1950 Volumes Dominica, 1826-1887
Dominica was first colonized by the French in 1690 and run as a sugar colony which also used slaves to grow coffee. It was taken by the British in 1761 and ceded to the British by the French in 1763. French importation of African slaves resulted in a majority-African colony. Dominica was ceded to the British in the 1783 Treaty of Paris. Dominican slaves were freed, after 4 years of apprenticeship, in 1838. Following emancipation, Dominica became the first British Caribbean colony to have a non-white controlled legislature.
