From the moment Columbus first sighted its verdant peaks in 1494, Jamaica became a crucible of colonial ambition, African resistance, and cultural fusion. This show traces the island's full arc: the brutal Spanish encomienda system that decimated the Taíno people; the 1655 English conquest that transformed Jamaica into a sugar-powered juggernaut; and the Maroon wars, where escaped Africans forged independent communities in the Blue Mountains under leaders like Cudjoe and Nanny. We explore the plantation economy's dependence on enslaved labor, the 1760 Tacky's Rebellion, the 1831 Baptist War (Sam Sharpe's uprising), and the long struggle for emancipation and self-rule. Beyond the sugar and blood, we delve into Jamaica's cultural power: the birth of Rastafari, the global rise of reggae and Bob Marley, and the island's post-independence identity. Lucas and Luna guide these conversations, connecting Kingston's dancehalls to the colonial archives. This is not a tourist's Jamaica—it's the story of a small island that shaped the modern world through resilience, creativity, and defiance. How did a colony built on slavery become a beacon of cultural liberation? #JamaicanHistory #TaNo #Columbus #SpanishColonialism #EnglishConquest #SugarPlantations #Maroons #QueenNanny #Cudjoe #TackysRebellion #BaptistWar #SamSharpe #Emancipation #Rastafari #BobMarley #Reggae #CaribbeanHistory #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo© 2026 Fexingo.

  • Jamaica's 1693 French Invasion: The Battle for the Caribbean

    Jamaica's 1693 French Invasion: The Battle for the Caribbean
    2026/06/08
    In June 1693, just a year after the earthquake that destroyed Port Royal, a French fleet of over 20 ships and 1,500 men under Admiral Jean-Baptiste du Casse descended on Jamaica. The island was still reeling, its defenses in ruins, its militia depleted. But Governor Sir William Beeston and Colonel Peter Beckford mounted a desperate defense that turned back the French assault on Carlisle Bay and the Rio Cobre. This episode unpacks the forgotten invasion that nearly ended English rule in Jamaica, the role of Spanish Town as a last bastion, the du Casse's later career as a privateer and governor of Saint-Domingue, and the fragile alliance with the Maroons that helped repel the attack. Featuring the Jamaican militia, the Royal Navy's absence, and the legacy of the 1693 invasion in shaping Jamaica's military identity. #Jamaica1693 #FrenchInvasion #JeanBaptisteDuCasse #SirWilliamBeeston #PeterBeckford #CarlisleBay #SpanishTown #Maroons #CaribbeanHistory #ColonialJamaica #PortRoyalEarthquake #RioCobre #RoyalNavy #JamaicanMilitia #SaintDomingue #17thCentury #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Jamaica's 1865 Morant Bay Rebellion: Paul Bogle and the Trial

    Jamaica's 1865 Morant Bay Rebellion: Paul Bogle and the Trial
    2026/06/08
    In 1865, Jamaica erupted in the Morant Bay Rebellion, a peasant uprising led by Paul Bogle and his deacon George William Gordon. This episode examines the causes: post-emancipation poverty, oppressive magistrates, and the Crown Colony system. We follow Bogle's march on Morant Bay, the burning of the courthouse, and the brutal reprisal by Governor Edward Eyre, who declared martial law and executed hundreds. We discuss the trial of Bogle and Gordon, the role of the Jamaica Committee in London, and the constitutional aftermath—the abolition of the elected Assembly and imposition of direct Crown Colony rule. We also touch on the legacy: how the rebellion shaped Jamaican nationalism and made Bogle a National Hero. #MorantBayRebellion #PaulBogle #GeorgeWilliamGordon #EdwardEyre #Jamaica #CrownColony #MartialLaw #JamaicaCommittee #JohnStuartMill #ThomasCarlyle #1865 #StThomasParish #NationalHero #Rebellion #History #FexingoHistory #CaribbeanHistory #PostEmancipation Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo

  • Jamaica's 1690 Slave Revolt and the Birth of the Maroon Alliance

    Jamaica's 1690 Slave Revolt and the Birth of the Maroon Alliance
    2026/06/07
    In 1690, a slave revolt in Clarendon Parish ignited a decades-long struggle for freedom in Jamaica. When Coromantee captives from the Gold Coast rose up at the Sutton estate, they killed the overseer and fled into the Cockpit Country. This episode follows the revolt's leaders — led by a man named Cudjoe — as they established independent Maroon communities, raided plantations for weapons and women, and eventually forced the British to negotiate. We examine the role of Obeah in organizing the rebellion, the brutal reprisals that followed, and how this uprising laid the groundwork for Tacky's Revolt seventy years later. Drawing on planters' letters, colonial records, and Maroon oral traditions, we piece together a story of resilience and strategic alliance-building that reshaped the island's geography of power. Lucas and Luna discuss the revolt's aftermath: the strengthening of the Maroon treaty system, the creation of the Maroon police force, and the paradox of Maroons hunting runaways. This episode also touches on the environmental knowledge that sustained the rebels in the Cockpit Country's labyrinthine caves and sinkholes. #History #FexingoHistory #JamaicanHistory #Maroons #Coromantee #SlaveRevolt #Obeah #CockpitCountry #ClarendonParish #SuttonEstate #Cudjoe #TackyRevolt #CaribbeanHistory #AfricanDiaspora #ColonialJamaica #Resistance #1690s #MaroonTreaty Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
