The first shipload of slaves that Juan Ponce de Leon brought to Puerto Rico in 1513 carried smallpox with them which took thousands of Taino lives. By 1515, fewer than four thousand Taino remained in Puerto Rico - compared to the thirty or forty thousand that Columbus had found. Although Juan Ponce de Leon did not slaughter the Tainos, he did force the Tainos into slavery. A few managed to escape into the remote mountains. Eventually they intermarried with the poor Spanish farmers and became known as jibaros.Because of industrialization and migration to the cities few real jibaros remain in Puerto Rico today.Between the years 1530 and 1540 the slave population reached its height surpassing Spaniards by 5 to 1. Eventually there were free black citizens, freed slaves, and cimarrones (escaped slaves). Slavery was abolished on March 22, 1873.The African slaves and Latinos (Christian - convert slaves who spoke bozal Spanish) that accompanied Juan Ponce de Leon to Borinquen (Puerto Rico) had a lasting effect on Puerto Rican culture through foods such as gandules, cocos, bacalao, yames, funche, platanos and pasteles;through music such as bomba and plena; and in their vocabulary with words like borundanga,and fuf. The most distinct African cultural print comes from Yoruba tribes in Africa. The African tribal dance is also strongly rooted in the formation of Puerto Rican music and dance. Puerto Rico's negroid poems by Luis Pales Matos and Fernando Fortunato Vizcarondo and others are a record of Puerto Rico's African heritage.Part of the undisputed African legacy on Puerto Rican culture includes a peculiar speech pattern.The West Africans introduced to the Island spoke bozal Spanish, a mixture of Portuguese,Spanish, and Congo. Many Puerto Ricans have the habit of swallowing the "s" and oftenpronounce the "r" as an "l". This is because in the African tongues there is no "s" nor "r." The Spanish language that Puerto Ricans speak is a mixture too, different somewhat from Castillian Spanish, with many words borrowed from the pre-Colombian Amerindian tongue right up to modern-day English.Puerto Rico remained a Spanish possession for over four centuries until 1898 when Spain ceded Puerto Rico (along with Cuba, Guam, Philippines and Wake Island) to the United States as part of the Treaty of Paris that ended the Spanish-American War.American Territory. - Two years later the Foraker Act made Puerto Rico a territory of the UnitedStates. Under the Foraker Act, the United States appointed an American as Governor of Puerto Rico and imposed a heavy tariff to protect American sugar and tobacco producers from Puerto Rican competition. On March 2, 1917, under heavy pressure from the island and the threat of World War I, President Wilson signed the Jones Act granting United States citizenship to all Puerto Ricans. Over 20,000 Puerto Ricans fought in World War I with thousands dying on the front lines. Additionally, Puerto Ricans bought over 10 million dollars in war bonds and donated hundreds of thousands of dollars.In July 1950, the United States Congress enacted Public Law 600. It provided that existing laws,which defined the political, economic, and fiscal relationship between Puerto Rico and the United States, should remain in full force. It also authorized Puerto Rico to draft and approve its own Constitution, which took effect on July 25, 1952. Puerto Rico's relationship with the United States is referred to as commonwealth status. (NOTE: Guam and Wake Island still remain undercontrol of the United States while Cuba and the Philippines are independent countries - Cuba declared its independence in 1902 and the Philippines winning independence in 1946.)Since Puerto Rico is a United States territory and its residents are American citizens, there are no travel restrictions to other United States areas and no customs duties or quotas on shipments between Puerto Rico and the U.S. mainland. Products manufactured in Puerto Rico are "Made in the USA." The people of Puerto Rico do not vote in national elections. A Resident Commissioner who has a voice in the House of Representatives but no vote represents them in Congress. Most federal taxes are not levied in Puerto Rico. No federal income tax is collected from island residents on ordinary income, except in cases of Federal employees.Spanish and English are the official languages of Puerto Rico. English is a compulsory second language in schools and is widely used in business, industry, research, and education....truth be told!THE BOSS OF ALL BOSSES,SOME REAL CAPO SHIT THE AMERICAN DREAM PERSONIFIED!
