After many years of trying, the British efforts between 1895 and 1897 finally paid dividend. They managed to defeat and take into captivity a large population of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines indigenous people (SIP): the Kalinago and the Garifuna.
This unfortunate occurrence leave many question unanswered. The primary of which is: what changes occurred within the SIP community that could have so drastically weakened the SIP, to the point where their conquest could have been so swift and so costly. We know that there was a peace treaty reach between England and the SIP, and they were expected to exist on the island together. However, this author believes the peace treaty that was signed, was part of the English plans to lure the SIP into a state of peace until the requested troops have arrived. 
Once the promised troops arrived in St. Vincent and the Grenadines, then the treaty would have fulfilled its purpose; which was to reduce the English causality, during the time it would have taken for the request for troop’s re-enforcement to reach the island.
The peace treaty was just an English strategy of war and the SIP bore the penalty for the trust they placed in the white English tyrant, and soon discovered that the words of their un-melaniated (white) associates had not real significant or value.
But their kind words and friendly smiles were just a means to an end. They were men driven by a tremendous lust to become wealthy at any cost and as soon as possible, They were willing and able to do anything to accomplish their objective.
They (the English colonizers) have left friends and family behind and it was their intent to return to their homes as soon as possible, with the wealth that will give them and their families the privilege the wealthy enjoy and the recognition of the crown.
The behavior of the English after they conquered the SIP is laced with red flag that presented a series of new unanswered question, answer which lay hidden in the mountain of files in the British archives. For more than two hundred years plus years the two distinct fractions that made up the SIP had proven to be an unbeatable force that defeated the Spanish, the English and the French every time they try lay claim on, in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
However, after the SIP was conquered and captured, there was a mark difference in the way the British treated the Kalinago and the Garifuna the inhabitant and defender of the group of Island that made up St. Vincent.
While the Kalinargo were pushed to the dense and rocky north of the mainland of St. Vincent, the Garifuna men, women and children were in turn shipped to a small barren island to the south of St. Vincent: Balliceaux.
Balliceaux is an island south of the main island St. Vincent, with scarce vegetation and animal life, no fresh water source and no ready supply of food. On this island many hundreds of Garifuna die from starvation and extreme thirst. However, when the English who inhabited St. Vincent and the Grenadines was pressured by fellow colonists of different nationality, who occupied the neighboring islands the Garifuna was banished to Roatan Honduras.
Why did the Garifuna suffered so harshly when compared to their Kalinago brothers and sisters. Many people have concluded that the Kalinargo people struct a deal with the British unknowing to the Garifuna and they betray and abandoned their Garifuna sibling and did not participated in the final war against the British. Thus weaken the Garifuna fighting force and also diminished their fighting ability.
This school of thought was what the British wanted the Garifuna to believe and this is the way they wanted the future to learn about the most formidable fight foe they have ever faced. What is the truth?
The truth is the French, were trying to gain access and control over St. Vincent for many decade. However the SIP were adamant, they did not want no white people on their land. Initially they were all the same: Just white people.
Prior to the last Carib war, the French met with and arranged to form an allegiance with the S.I.P. for not even the combined forces of the English and the French, with their modern machines of war (gun power, cannons, Long and short Muskets - guns) were able to defeat the S.I.P.
There are some troubling questions I have about the organization of the alliance; between the French and the S.I.P. How was it possible for this to be done, without the knowledge of the English? When we consider St. Vincent and the Grenadines is a very small island, and it was almost impossible for the large french ships to be hidden even in the open sea.
When you consider by this time in our nation's history it was known by the French, the English and the Spanish that St. Vincent and the Grenadines were void of any precious stones; the type of stones they were interested in: gold, silver, etc. They knew this by the very fact, the ceremonial outfit of the priest and Chief were without; the decorated adornment of any metal that was worthwhile having. which represented the presence of or the access to those valuable stones.
It was because of the absence of such precious stones, which caused the Spanish to lose interest in the Island. It was not worth the Spanish's while to invest in an Island that did not give them a ready quick and rich return.
We must be mindful, the Europeans are all one nation the Caucasian or the Edomite nation, with a common ancestry. In other words, they are brothers. We must also bear in mind, both the French and the English were closely knitted allied and blood relatives. In that for for centuries, both nations aristocratic families and royal families often intermarried; especially in union of conveniences.
So why would the French ruin such a stellar relationship that span hundreds of years; over a small Island that had rough terrains, large mountains and very little flat land on which to conduct large scale farming. It just does not make any sense. For the French to side and fight alongside the S.I.P. how would doing so benefit them?
But the last and final reason why, the French alliance with the St. Vincent and the Grenadines indigenous people was a part of the Caucasians bigger plan, was the fact, just six years before the beginning of the first Carib way, in 1763, the Caucasians ruling class from France, England and Spain came together and they signed what was called the Treaty of Paris.
In the Treaty of Paris: The Caucasians decided St. Vincent and the Grenadines will go to England, although Portugal was not apart of the treaty, they were also present and decided they have no interest in and will not complicate the English rule of St. Vincent was part of the colony of England.
The St. Vincent and the Grenadines indigenous people had no way of knowing this. They thought the french offer to help them was a guanine one, based on mutual respect. But this was not the case. When the second Carib war began in 1795, the French betrayed the Carib leading to their defeat.
The SIP made a very serious mistake. For centuries, the SIP refused to trust the white-man. With the SIP's lack of trust for and of, the white-man, they were always victorious over them in every battle they fought. However, the one time they put their trust in the group of Caucasians called: the French; they were betrayed. This betrayal led to the final defeat of our valiant indigenous forefathers.
That Betrayal cause many of the S.I.P. to lose their liees, they lose their freedom and they lose their land. They also suffered much, in the form of humiliation and pain especially the pain of hunger and thirst. Which the Banished Garifuna were forced to experience.
There is a popular saying that goes like this, If you forget the past you are doomed to repeat the same mistakes of your fathers. Vincentians forgot their past and today most are once again enslaved by the few whites that occupied the small island.
Our forefathers have an excuse; that excuse is their ignorance, of who the Caucasians were. But what excuse do our now enslaved Vincentians has. Not one; we refuse to learn from the past so we repeated the mistakes our forefathers made almost about One hundred and thirty-six years ago.
