Caribbean

The Caribbean is a subregion of the Americas that includes the Caribbean Sea and its islands.

Because of a history of European colonization and immigration, the Atlantic slave trade from Africa, and indentured servitude from Asia, the modern Caribbean is one of the most ethnically diverse regions on the planet.

Christopher Hitchens
Some say that because the United States was wrong before, it cannot possibly be right now, or has not the right to be right. (The British Empire sent a fleet to Africa and the Caribbean to maintain the slave trade while the very same empire later sent another fleet to enforce abolition. I would not have opposed the second policy because of my objections to the first; rather it seems to me that the second policy was morally necessitated by its predecessor.)
