Final blog post

In my final essay I'll be discussing how historical events have shaped the modern day politics in St Vincent and the Grenadines.

There are three main ideas in this prompted essay which include how the St Vincent people reacted to independence while shaping their own government. This government would be shaped by their predecessors, also known as the British. While the Dutch ruled them previously as well, they had learned and been impressed by their past events. Source 1 explains how the St Vincent people took note of their past rulers.

A second main idea includes a site I discovered which lists out some of the political history and turmoil the people of St Vincent and the Grenadines have experienced. With disagreement over the country’s new constitution. Source 2 will help explain in detail how these groups of people disagreed and include their differences.

A third and last main event talks about how the modern day St Vincent people and government promote democracy. Similar to other democratic countries, they are quite polarized. Source 3 begins to talk about how the St Vincent government has promoted and continues to promote a modern governmental system.

St. Vincent and The Grenadines Historical and Cultural Events

Throughout history, St. Vincent and The Grenadines have been defined by domestic events. Whether it be political or historical events, these have caused outsiders to view the people of St Vincent a special way. Historically, St. Vincent has mostly not been known as an independent nation. In fact, for most of its history, the people of St. Vincent and The Grenadines have seen and been dominated by not only French conquers but the British as well.  After being inhabited by early Africans, the colonization of St. Vincent and The Grenadines would soon begin. This is seen today, as almost two-thirds of the population of St. Vincent is from African descent (Source 1).  During the time of Anglo-French War, the French and the British would exchange ownership of St. Vincent and The Grenadines a couple times (Source 1). After a few transitions in possession of the St. Vincent colony between the British and French, the British finally gained control and instated a controlling government over the

Research Project News

 Some highlights of my research include searching the internet for valid documents to use for my final project. It usually takes a while to find a good website that has everything that I need.

Next I plan on researching more into the political history and customs of the St Vincent people to get a better understanding of everything they do.
