I once read a book that noted that when Black West Indians were in slavery, they also had to take care of themselves, growing their own crops, building their own houses, outside of their slave duties. Ownership of those possessions were allowed. Slaves in America were 100% dependant on their owners, given shoddy housing and bad food. The difference is after slavery ended, West Indians had a better advantage over blacks in America, because they were not as dependant on whites to survive.
