 ==Immigration into Antigua and Barbuda==
-*The '''Spanish''' did not colonize Antigua until after a combination of European and African diseases, malnutrition, and slavery eventually extirpated most of the native population; smallpox was probably the greatest killer.
-*The '''English''' settled on Antigua in 1632 and on Barbuda in 1685.
-*Tobacco and then sugar was grown, worked by a '''large population of slaves from West Africa''' who soon came to vastly outnumber the European settlers.
-*The English maintained control of the islands, repulsing an attempted French attack in 1666.
-*The brutal conditions endured by the slaves led to revolts in 1701 and 1729 and a planned revolt in 1736, discovered before it began. Slavery was abolished in the British Empire in 1833, affecting the economy. This was exacerbated by natural disasters such as the 1843 earthquake and the 1847 hurricane.
-*Antigua has a population of 96,286, mostly made up of people of '''West African, British, and Madeiran descent'''. The ethnic distribution consists of 91% Black & Mulatto, 4.4% mixed race, 1.7% White, and 2.9% other (primarily East Indian and other Asian). Most Whites are of British descent.
-*'''Christian Levantine Arabs''', and a small number of '''Asians and Sephardic Jews''' make up the remainder of the population.
-*A minority of Antiguan residents are immigrants from other countries, particularly from '''Dominica, Guyana and Jamaica''', and, increasingly, from the '''Dominican Republic, St. Vincent and the Grenadines and Nigeria'''.
-*An estimated 4,500 '''American citizens''' also make their home in Antigua and Barbuda, making their numbers one of the largest American populations in the English-speaking Eastern Caribbean.<ref name="AB">"Antigua and Barbuda", in Wikipedia, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antigua_and_Barbuda#Demographics, accessed 25 July 2021.</ref>
 ==Emigration From Antigua and Barbuda==
-*An increasingly large percentage of the population lives abroad, most notably in the '''United Kingdom, United States and Canada'''. <ref name="AB"/>
