               The               threatened               outbreak               of               war               and               the               disruption               of               trade               with               the               American               colonies               worried               Jamaican               planters               considerably.

The               British               West               Indies               and               the               American               Colonies               were               of               similar               social               backgrounds               and               were               the               geographically               closest               major               British               colonial               trading               partners.

The               Jamaican               House               of               Assembly               knew               that               hard               times               were               coming               and               two               months               later,               while               professing               loyalty               to               the               king,               passed               a               petition               and               memorial               in               support               of               the               American               Colonies.[iii]               The               Connecticut               House               of               Representatives               passed               a               vote               of               thanks               in               response               as               well.[iv]               The               British               House               of               Lords               and               Parliament               were               generally               infuriated,               and               although               the               West               Indians               retained               some               influence               in               London,               they               had               lost               much               political               good               will.

Eventually               the               British               Caribbean               colonies,               fearing               for               their               slaves,               decided               to               wholeheartedly               cast               in               their               lot               with               London.

"Britain               was               relieved:               in               1773,               British               imports               from               Jamaica               alone               were               five               times               the               combined               imports               from               the               thirteen               colonies."[v]

The               management               of               Jamaican               plantations               became               increasingly               difficult               because               of               the               nature               of               a               "near-monoculture               stage               of               production".[xvi]               The               only               deviations               from               sugar               production               were               cattle,               a               bit               of               rice               and               indigo,               and               some               plantation               produce               grown               for               food.

He               wrote               a               10,000               page               diary               which               has               now               become               the               basis               of               at               least               four               books.

There               were               periods               of               slave               famine:               a               committee               of               the               House               of               Assembly               in               1787               found               that               of               a               slave               population               of               256,000               more               than               15,000               slaves               had               died               of               malnutrition,               some               historians               place               the               number               as               high               as               24,000.[xxxvii]               Additionally,               "by               the               end               of               the               1780s               the               value               of               many               West               Indian               plantations               had               declined               significantly."[xxxviii]               The               plantation               system               was               showing               signs               of               age               and               weakness.

The               Caribbean               system               of               slavery               could               not               adjust               to               the               new               economic               system,               and               was               destined               to               be               eclipsed               by               the               Second               British               Empire.

The               war               created               a               new               commercial               system               that               was               simply               not               as               lucrative               for               sugar               producers.

The               economy               never               adjusted               and               decline               was               inevitable.
