Eric Eustace Williams was the first Prime Minister of Trinidad and Tobago, serving from independence in 1962 until his death on the 29th of March 1981. He led Trinidad and Tobago to majority rule on the 28th of October 1956, to independence on the 31st of August 1962, and to republic status on the 1st of August 1976, winning every general election during that period with his People's National Movement party.
Capitalism and Slavery, published in 1944, argues that the British abolition of the slave trade and of slavery was driven primarily by economic motives rather than humanitarian ones. Williams contended that the declining profitability of West Indian sugar plantations made slave labour an obstacle to industrial capitalism, and that the British government's sugar duties acts of the 1840s were used to sever obligations to West Indian colonies in favour of cheaper sugar from Cuba and Brazil.
Williams inaugurated the People's National Movement on the 15th of January 1956, from a public platform at Woodford Square in Port of Spain. Eight months later, in elections on the 24th of September 1956, the PNM won 13 of the 24 elected seats in the Legislative Council, making Williams Chief Minister.
The Black Power Revolution, led by Geddes Granger's National Joint Action Committee alongside trade unionists including George Weekes and Basdeo Panday, broke into the open during the 1970 Carnival. Williams proclaimed a State of Emergency on the 21st of April 1970 and arrested fifteen Black Power leaders. A portion of the Trinidad and Tobago Defence Force, led by Raffique Shah and Rex Lassalle, mutinied at the Teteron army barracks before surrendering on the 25th of April.
The Eric Williams Memorial Collection is an archive at the University of the West Indies in Trinidad and Tobago, inaugurated in 1998 by former US Secretary of State Colin Powell. It holds approximately 7,000 volumes from Williams' personal library, along with manuscripts, speeches, correspondence, and copies of seven translations of Capitalism and Slavery. UNESCO added it to its Memory of the World Register in 1999.
Williams withdrew Trinidad and Tobago from the West Indies Federation on the 15th of January 1962, after concluding that the arrangement was untenable. When Bustamante withdrew Jamaica, Trinidad and Tobago was left obligated to provide 75% of the Federal budget while holding less than half the seats in the Federal government. Williams summarised the situation in a speech: "one from ten leaves nought."
