Jamaica absorbed 38 percent of all British-imported enslaved Africans.

Evidence

After the 1680s, Jamaica consistently began to exceed Barbados and the Leeward Islands in sugar exports. By the early 1700s, Jamaica’s slave population followed suit, reflecting the island’s preeminent role in British colonial commerce. By the end of the English trade in slaves, something like 38 percent of the slave labor force transported by English shippers had been relocated to Jamaica. — Cedric J.
