"Slave Walls" on St. Martin, constructed by slave labor, about the time of the Puritan/Pequot war.
("During this time and throughout the war, many captured Pequot men were killed, while women and children were given to colonists as spoils of war, placed in captivity under other tribes who had pledged their allegiance to the English, or transferred to the Massachusetts Bay Colony, sold into slavery, and shipped to the Caribbean islands and other British outposts." ~ https://connecticuthistory.org/slavery-and-the-pequot-war/)
