The diary of slaveowner Thomas Thistlewood of Jamaica details violence against slaves, and constitutes important historical documentation of the conditions for Caribbean slaves. For centuries slavery made sugarcane production economical. The low level of technology made production difficult and labor-intensive.The French colony of Saint-Domingue quickly began to out-produce all of the British islands combined. Though sugar was driven by slavery, rising costs for the British made it easier for the British abolitionists to be heard. The slavery system that developed in the Lesser Antilles was an outgrowth of the demand for sugar and other crops.

Slavery was reintroduced in the French colonies by Napoleon Bonaparte. Slavery was finally abolished in 1848 by the French Second Republic.
