Dancing the cocoa beans
Description:
Dancing the cocoa beans, from Cocoa: All About It by Historicus ,1896.
Cocoa, which was used to make chocolate, was grown on slave planations in the Caribbean and brought to Bristol for processing.
Chocolate was first used as a drink, sweetened with sugar to mask the bitter flavour of the chocolate. Later it was used for making eating chocolate. At this period, most people drank beer, wine or spirits. Water was not safe to drink, tea coffee and chocolate were expensive. Quakers promoted drinking chocolate as an alternative to alcohol.

Extract re White Negro by Voltaire
Description:
Felix Farley’s Bristol Journal , March 22 1760: White Negro by Voltaire (purportedly).
The language used to describe people of African descent in the 18th, 19th and 20th centuries is unacceptable in today’s terms. We cannot avoid using this language in its original context. To change the words would impose 20th century attitudes on history.
