Slave trading
[edit]Viscount Combermere was a joint owner of a number of plantations on St Kitts and Nevis between 1822 and 1834[1]. He was appointed the Governor of Barbados in 1817 meaning he was involved with overseeing the operation of plantations, slaves being shipped in and out of the island through purchase and sales of African people and the overall use of slaves on the island. He also received a considerable amount of compensation (around £920,000 in today's currency) for the loss of 420 enslaved people, at the time of release, on his estates. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Friend-of-the-planet-99 (talk • contribs) 14:48, 18 June 2020 (UTC)
