Explanation: After further research, the information of this book has been thoroughly researched, but there is no historical finding of an actual Chieftain named Huareo but the experiences were historically true.

The author of the book **”Huareo: Story of a Jamaican Cacique”** is **Fred W. Kennedy**. The book tells the story of Huareo, a Taino cacique, and his leadership in Jamaica during the arrival of the Spanish. It’s a meticulously researched historical fiction novel that brings to life the experiences of the Taino people.

Since the story of Huareo was not a fully historical person, please review all of the previous study guides to prepare for the quiz on Jamaica.

The importance of African slave labor, began by the Spanish, continued until the British which much greater intensity, and through steadily in volume as sugar production increased and extent of value most Jamaican slaves came from the region of modern day Ghana, Nigeria, and Central Africa, and included the Akan, Ashanti, Yoruba, Ibo and Ibibio people. Jamaica was one of the most valuable British colonies but the conditions endured in this place with horrendous. Families were routinely separated, housing and sanitation were abysmal. Many died from over work and starvation. Life expectancy of West African slaves in Jamaica was seven years. The slave trade was abolished in 1807 by then almost 2 million slaves were traded to Jamaica, with tens of thousands dying slave ships and the middle passage between West Africa and the Caribbean. After almost 250 years of rebellion and resistance, emancipation from slavery was finally won in 1838 this happened because of William Wilberforce in England working for 20 years to abolish slavery. The end of slavery brought about the collapse of the plantation system and the West African slaves who fought for their freedoms were no longer prepared to work for their former Masters. All of this contributed to Jamaica having to go through a lot of changes before it became totally independent in 1962.
