このコンテンツについて
The Stono Rebellion of 1739, one of the largest and most significant slave uprisings in the American colonies, erupted on September 9 near the Stono River in South Carolina, driven by enslaved Africans seeking freedom. Led by a man named Jemmy, approximately 20 slaves seized weapons from a store, rallying other enslaved individuals to join their cause as they marched southward toward Spanish Florida, where freedom for escaped slaves was promised. The rebellion highlighted the extreme oppression faced by enslaved people and posed a formidable threat to colonial authority, resulting in a bloody confrontation with European settlers that left dozens dead. In its aftermath, colonial leaders enacted harsher slave codes to further suppress black resistance and tighten control over the enslaved population. Though ultimately quelled, the Stono Rebellion remains a powerful symbol of resistance against slavery and underscores the relentless pursuit of freedom inherent in this dark chapter of American history.
