Brief Facts: During the 17th century, the region was divided
into two territorial units, one English and the other Danish. Sugarcane,
produced by slave labor, drove the islands' economy during the 18th and
early 19th centuries. In 1917, the US purchased the Danish portion, which
had been in economic decline since the abolition of slavery in 1848.

modified US coat of arms in the center between the large blue initials V
