Bermuda's First Labour Day Marred by Indifferent Govt (Photo by Sister Valerie Ming) BERMUDA'S FIRST LABOUR DAY MARRED BY INDIFFERENT GOVT. Bermuda's first ever Labour Day holiday will go down in history as yet another day in which the workers' organisations of Bermuda came together in a show of solidarity. But that day was different For on that day, the workers were not protesting against the em­ ployers or the Government; they were not out to embarrass or put pressure on anyone; they were not marching to demonstrate that labour is a powerful institution in these islands. No. On that day the workers were gathered together to celebrate the acknowledgement of their contribution to the prosperity of this country. After having been denied that recognition for so long.

  • From Lower Canadian Colonists to Bermudan Convicts – Political Slavery and the Politics of Unfreedom
    “By What Authority Do You Chain Us Like Felons?”: From Lower Canadian Colonists to Bermudan Convicts – Political Slavery and the Politics of Unfreedom Jarett Henderson, Mount Royal University At 3:00 PM on 2 July 1838, Wolfred Nelson stepped, for the first time since his arrest in December 1837, outside the stone walls of the newly built Montreal Gaol. Iron shackles hung from his wrists and ankles. Heavy chains bound him to Robert Bouchette, who, like 515 other Lower Canadian reformers, had been arrested under the auspices of leading an insurrection against the British empire. That July day Nelson, Bouchette, and six other white British subjects – often identified as patriots – began a journey that took them from Montreal to Quebec to Hamilton, the capital of the British penal colony of Bermuda. Their procession from the gaol to the Canada steamer moored in the St. Lawrence provided these eight men one final opportunity to demonstrate their frustration with irresponsible colonial government. The rhetoric of political enslavement once used by Nelson to agitate for reform had been replaced with iron shackles. This symbol of unfreedom was both personal and political. Furthermore, it provides a vivid example of how Nelson, Bouchette, and their fellow compatriots Rodolphe DesRivières, Henri Gauvin, Siméon Marchesseault, Luc Masson, Touissant Goddu, and Bonaventure Viger’s ideas about the reach of empire had encouraged their political engagement and transformed them from loyal to disloyal, from free to unfree, and from civil to uncivil subjects. Though there is little record of the removal of these men from Lower Canada, we must not take this as an indication that their transportation to Bermuda went unnoticed.

  • 1 Slave Codes and Penal Laws in Eighteenth-Century Jamaica and Ireland
    ‘Slave codes and penal laws’ Slave codes and penal laws in eighteenth-century Jamaica and Ireland: a comparative and historiographical survey* During the long eighteenth century, a period stretching roughly between 1660 and 1840, the British elites of both Ireland and Jamaica faced very similar problems of social control. Both were small and embattled minorities within a society made up mainly of Catholic Irish in the one place and black slaves in the other, who were in general overwhelmingly hostile to elites and unwilling to accept their subordinate status. In Ireland between about 1695 and 1719, the Protestant Ascendancy in the Irish Parliament created a body of laws known as the ‘Penal Laws’ intended to regulate the behaviour of the Catholic Irish population, and to destroy its religious, political, social and economic power. In Jamaica and the West Indies, the planters used colonial assemblies to construct a body of laws known as the slave code, which defined the nature of slavery, the position of slaves, and the power of their masters. Both were comprehensive systems of social control that lasted largely unchanged until they were swept away between 1772 and 1795 in Ireland, and between about 1823 and 1838 in Jamaica and the West Indies. Both have also been the subject of intense reassessment over the past five decades, but have either the codes themselves * I am grateful to James Robertson, David Hayton, Trevor Burnard, Patrick Walsh and the reviewers at the Jamaican Historical Review for their comments, feedback and advice.
