The Baptist War

The history of Jamaica is awesome, I would recommend this book about the use of sugar as medicine and currency. The people of Jamaica has experience alot but they still perverse through it all!

[John Fetzer]

The book is more a history of slavery in the early New World and of the resulting slave revolts. The Baptist War was one of the latter, a particularly large one in Jamaica that gets more focus.
