Mention the name Manzanilla in Trinidad and people immediately think of miles of beachfront with towering coconut trees. However, there is another side to Manzanilla in Trinidad. In many ways the history of this other side of Manzanilla Trinidad is associated with war. So we head to North Manzanilla and a past that is filled with slavery and war. As we explore the history of the 3rd West India Regiment, its disbandment in Trinidad and the hard life of the 1830's and 1840's we see that in Manzanilla Trinidad the past is truly in the present. • Photo Attributions • From the American Geographical Society Library, University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Libraries • Black Soldiers of the West India Regiment, 1850s , Slavery Images: A Visual Record of the African Slave Trade and Slave Life in the Early African Diaspora, accessed December 27, 2021, http://slaveryimages.org/s/slaveryima... • Colonel A.
