The facts are the facts,.. West Indians of the period admitted THEY were the ones who got Garvey caught up. Even Africans were like
???
There were plenty of Haitian c00ns
Boyer
The real reason was because of the ratio of blacks to whites. I hate to give American Cacs credit for not being dumb enough to swamp themselves in a sea of black slaves, where if anything popped off, they wouldn't be outnumbered
Caribbean Cacs on the other hand, were dumb as hell

In the Caribbean, the slaves lived on huge plantations where it was easy to build a large team when they wanted to revolt; afram slaves on the other hand, live on small little farms that were spaced out with very few slaves; which made it harder to build a force, when they thought about rebelling

Haiti had 500K blacks/mulattos vs 32,000 whites....
If you can't get a successful uprising with that kind of population advantage, you were meant to be a slave
.

in summary:
West Indies = slaves heavily outnumbered whites, and were allowed to congregate on huge plantations with very little supervision, which made it easier to storm/attack whites with huge crowds of slaves
USA = whites heavily outnumbered slaves,while being able to watch them closely as they were in small numbers on spaced out farms, which reduced the ability to attack whites with large crowds of slaves
No, FBAs are identifying with the land of their immediate ethnogenesis...they just so happen to be there because, white people imported their ancestors there...the same way Euros were in the Carribean before they imported Africans, the ancestors of modern-day West Indians, the same way those same West Indians, NOW take pride, in being from those lands that white people brought them to asthey had their respective ethnogenesis
European arrival in Haiti began on December 6, 1492, when Christopher Columbus landed on the northern coast of the island of Hispaniola during his first voyage, claiming it for Spain. Columbus named the island
La Isla Española, which was inhabited by the Taíno people. This marked the beginning of colonization, indigenous genocide, and the introduction of slavery
Enslaved Africans were first imported to Hispaniola (modern-day Haiti and Dominican Republic) by the Spanish in the early 16th century, with records showing arrivals around 1502–1517 to replace the rapidly dying Taíno population. These first Africans were forced into labor, largely for gold mining, before the colony later transitioned to sugar and coffee production under French rule

European arrival in Jamaica began with Christopher Columbus, who landed on May 5, 1494, during his second voyage, claiming the island for Spain. Spanish colonization followed, establishing the first settlement at Sevilla la Nueva in 1509. In 1655, the British captured the island, leading to a major transformation in the economy and population
Africans arrived in Jamaica primarily through the transatlantic slave trade, starting with the Spanish in 1513–1517 and accelerating under British rule (1655–1807), bringing over 1 million enslaved people. Primarily from West and Central Africa (Akan, Igbo, Yoruba), they built the plantation economy, formed Maroons, and now constitute the majority of Jamaican ancestry

European contact with Barbados began in the early 16th century, likely with Spanish explorers, followed by the Portuguese in the 1500s who named it
Os Barbados. However, the first permanent English settlement was established on February 17, 1627, at Holetown by Captain Henry Powell, following an initial landing in May 1625
Between 1627 and 1833, approximately 387,000 to 600,000 enslaved Africans were forcibly brought to Barbados, primarily from West Africa (Gold Coast, Bight of Benin/Biafra) to fuel the booming sugar plantation economy. Early arrivals began around 1627, and by 1660, the population shifted to a Black majority, making Barbados a central hub of British slave society
