18th-century > plantation owner William Beckford    1709-1770

William Beckford

is implicated in mass murder

and immense cruelty in colonial Jamaica.

The son of violent settler colonialists,

in 1737 he inherited over a dozen slave plantations

and 3,000 enslaved Africans in Jamaica.

Beckford made his fortune

by ruthlessly exploiting their labour,

with what Beckford’s Tower and Museum

calls “tyrannical strength”.

West Indian slavery

was a crime against humanity.

In 2001,

at the third UN World Conference Against Racism,

European nations acknowledged this fact.

Beckford’s wealth enabled him

to obtain power and status in Britain,

including twice becoming lord mayor of London.

He was a vicious slave owner.

In Tacky’s Revolt:

The Story of an Atlantic Slave,

the historian Vincent Brown tells how,

after a failed insurrection in 1760,

400 enslaved people were killed

for their part in the rebellion,

and its leader was burned alive.

If It Were My Home

The headlines tell a lot about the crisis in Yemen:

internal strife,

evacuations of international aid workers,

Saudi Arabian airstrikes.

But you may have one very basic question

that you can't easily find an answer for:

How big is Yemen, anyway?

You can look at maps and check out Wikipedia

but wouldn't it be great

to just to slap an outline of Yemen

on top of a map of the United States

to get a sense of its size?

IfItWereMyHome.com

lets you do just that.
