You must be satisfied toiling in the canfields while someone sets the direction you are to take. Don’t get me wrong, independence doesn’t mean you don’t need other people’s input. Most people or country wouldn’t last long without the assistance and support of those with greater influences.
Independence summed up means you add at least as much value back as is given to you in any kind of transaction. This shows the importance of independence to an individual or a nation nationally, socially, and intellectually.

It was now the responsibility of the newly elected Prime Minister and the locally elected Cabinet. An independent Jamaica has its own constitution, its own army, emblem, symbols, passport etc. Independence is very important to a
