The Exumas were settled in 1783 by American Loyalists who wanted to remain true to the British king
after the United States won the American Revolutionary War. They reassembled their former way of life
in these islands, complete with cotton plantations and African slaves. Remnants of these plantations can
still be found. Lord John Rolle was a major landowner and one of the most powerful Loyalists. When he
freed his slaves in 1835, he released his land to them for life. In gratitude, several towns are named after
him. This chain of 365 cays stretches over a 100-mile of the most breathtaking beautiful unnamed and
deserted beaches strolled only iguanas.
