DESCRIPTION:Before transatlantic slavery\, European colonial powers used c
 ontract workers. After Britain abolished the slave trade in 1807/08\, they
  sought new markets\, especially in Latin America\, and needed a wage-earn
 ing population. By the 1820s–30s\, the idea of wage slavery emerged. In 
 1834\, the British introduced the apprenticeship system in their colonies\
 , a compromise with slave owners\, until it collapsed in 1838 due to resis
 tance. Still\, it inspired the Indentured Labour System\, bringing hundred
 s of thousands of Asian\, African\, and European contract workers to Carib
 bean plantations between 1833–1873. This lecture explores how brutal lab
 or systems shaped global market development\, focusing on Trinidad and Tob
 ago\, Guyana\, and Curaçao.
