Racism in Jersey, is still around, although it is not connected to America and the recent death of George Floyd and the black lives matter movement, racism still happens so it is relevant.

Jersey was connected to the slave trade by having slave owners from here and wanting products from places where slaves work, cod from Canada and wood from the Caribbean. Sir George Carteret, served in the navy and gained a colony in America, as a reward for helping King Charles II during his exile,and named it ‘New Jersey’ after Jersey. He was involved in the slave trade, by being connected to boating, however his connection is not know to many and is not taught to the younger generation. Sir George Carteret has a statue in St Peter, which had been covered in paint, due to recent arise in the black lives matter movement. A square, Trenton Square, in St Helier also is connected to the slave trade by being named after the capital of New Jersey, Trent, and a plantation owner, William Trent.
