9 set 1739 ano - Stono Rebellion

Descrição:

The largest slave rebellion to take place in the British mainland colonies. It was led by literate slave Jemmy (aka Cato), who led a group of around 80 armed slaves to Spanish Florida, where the government promised freedom. They started off at the Stono River at the South Carolina Colony, where they attacked several whites before being subdued and captured by local militia groups. A group of rebels escaped and skirmished with militias again before their re-capture. Each rebel was then either executed or shipped to the West Indies.

Deaths:
25 whites
35-50 slaves
