Samaná English

The immigrants responded to an invitation for settlement that Jonathas Granville had delivered in person to Philadelphia, Baltimore, Boston, and New York City.

Abolitionists like Richard Allen, Samuel Cornish, Benjamin Lundy, and Loring D. Dewey joined the campaign, which was coined the Haitian emigration.

[2] The response was unprecedented, as thousands of African Americans boarded ships in eastern cities and migrated to Haiti.

[4][5] While more than 6,000 immigrants came in 1824 and 1835, by the end of the 19th century, only a handful of enclaves on the island spoke any variety of the antebellum Black Vernacular.

Samana English is related to that of Bahamian and Turks and Caicos Islands Creole due to same origins.
