Abstract: The rise and fall of the Atlantic slave trade and slavery in the Americas fostered environments where bondspeople and commoners in West Africa and the British Caribbean had more in common with each other than the slave-owning elites. An emergent class consciousness and similar concepts of freedom intersected with the evolving landscape of power and oppression, opportunity, and restriction in West Africa and the West Indies to inform how enslaved peoples navigated bondage in the British Caribbean from the late eighteenth century to abolition in 1838.
