Colonial Impact

Learn more about the impact of colonialism on The Bahamas and the invaluable contributions of enslaved Africans in shaping Bahamian culture and identity. This chapter of our history places the experiences of enslaved people at the center, focusing not solely on the atrocities they endured but also the cultural traditions and ecological knowledge they brought with them and passed on. 

We delve into the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade, the Loyalists, and the connections formed between The Bahamas and the United States.
