Answer#4: The 300,000 people who live in the Islands of the
Bahamas are predominantly of West African descent.
Their ancestors were slaves brought to the islands
to work on the cotton plantations, until 1834,
when Britain abolished slavery in all its
territories. Most of the white residents are
descendants of the English settlers who emigrated
from Bermuda in 1647 in search of religious
freedom. Some are also related to the Loyalists
who fled the southern United States during the
American Revolution and built enormous plantations
here. After the abolition of slavery, life on the
islands changed drastically. The plantations were
abandoned, and both blacks and whites turned to
the bountiful sea (sponging and fishing), or else
tried to farm. The lack of fertile cropland
prompted the islanders to become a nation of
seafarers, and Bahamians used these skills to
great advantage during the days of shipwrecking,
gunrunning and Prohibition. Bahamians take great
pride in their past, especially their names, which
are indicative of a rich cultural legacy. There
are many common names: the Gibsons are reputedly
from Scotland; the Alburys, Malones and Russells
are said to be Irish Loyalists; and the Bethels of
Eleuthera say they arrived with the zealous
Eleutheran Adventurers years ago. The Black
Bahamians' roots go back just as far, as evidenced
by the many who took the name Rolle, after Lord
Rolle, a wealthy and much-loved planter in The
Exumas who, after emancipation, gave his land to
his former slaves. The laid-back attitude of the
Bahamians is often misunderstood, but it has
simply evolved from years of good living in a land
where nature provides for just about every need,
from housing, to food, to earning a living.
Bahamians like to think that there is always time
to worry about the bad things tomorrow. Bahamians
are humorous, helpful people who love to
celebrate. Weddings and funerals in The Islands of
the Bahamas are especially important social
events. People begin celebrating a marriage weeks
before the official ceremony begins, and the
passing of loved ones is commemorated by parties
long after they are gone. Bahamians love to dress
up smartly. They also speak very well and their
diction is far better than that of many other
English speakers in the world.I have not had the
pleasure of visiting Bermuda, but have read that
it has a population of roughly 63,000. Of those
people, 61% are of African descent, 38% of
Caucasian descent, a small minority of American
Indian descent.
Answer#5: Bermuda is a British possession with a lot of
weathly white people. The entire island is well
off. There is no unemployment. Things are very
clean.The Bahamas is pretty opposite. Quite a bit
of poverty. Not much education and unemployment.
As for creole people, not a whole lot. Mainly
blacks of African heritage.
Answer#6: Sandalled people;)
Answer#7: I'd call them the lucky type.
