African slave revolt

The African slave revolt refers to uprisings by enslaved Africans against their captors, typically in the Americas or Caribbean, during the period of slavery from the 17th to 19th centuries. These revolts aimed to resist oppression, escape, or seek freedom, and some resulted in significant disruptions or the abolition of slavery. Notable examples include the Stono Rebellion in 1739 and the Haitian Revolution (1791-1804), which led to the first successful large-scale slave revolt resulting in an independent nation. These revolts highlight the resistance and resilience of enslaved Africans against brutal and dehumanizing systems.
