Bumping this with a question:
Would not the lesser Caribbean islands of St. Vincent, Tobago, Grenada, St. Lucia, etc be good options, particularly for the slave owning southerners?
In "Liberty's Exiles", mention was made of the Bahamas (largely a failed venture) and Jamaica (already heavily populated). However, most of these smaller islands had been taken by the French in the 7 Years War and were largely unoccupied/undeveloped.
Why did no one go there?
Thanks.
