Black Caribs (admixture of Arawak and escaped or shipwrecked African slaves) were removed by the British from St. Vincent in the Grenadines (west of Barbados) to Rattan an island off Honduras in 1790, to prevent further uprisings, harmful to British sugar plantations. The Black Caribs then evolved into or were absorbed by the Garifuna, a polyglot of races, mainly African and Indian, now occupying transnational seacoasts on the Caribbean side of Central America, including cities within the United States. http://www.ask.com/wiki/Garifuna_people?o=2800&qsrc=999&ad=doubleDown&an=apn&ap=ask.com
