One can imagine sugar cane merchants, the red clay roads leading to their plantations and "servants" burning and cropping the fields to harvest the cane; mixed with the sweet smell of molasses, a by product from refining the white gold.
This was a bygone time before Sweet and Low and Splenda.
No to Decaf, and Sugar Substitutes, with zero calories.
The bittersweet fact remains, African slaves, who outnumbered the Europeans 10 to 1, did all the labour.The effects I have come to know through Reggae music. Bob Marley's
Redemption Song, vividly tells how awful the slave trade was.
