4. Haitian revolution
The Haitian revolution was the only slave revolt that led into the founding of a state. The rebellion began with a revolt of black African slaves in August 1791. When the slaves of Saint Domingue rose in revolt and plunged the colony into civil war, the signal to begin the revolt was given by Boukman, a high priest of vodou and leader of the Maroon slaves. In 1791 about 100,000 slaves rose in revolt. They burned the sugar can in the fields and killed hundreds of slave owners. For most of the conflict, the British and Spanish supplied the rebels with food, ammunition, arms, medicine, naval support, and military advisors. By August 1793, there were only 3,500 French soldiers on the island. The rebels found a remarkable leader, Toussaint L'Ouverture who was a self educated former slave. Under the military leadership of Toussaint, the forces made up mostly of former slaves succeeded in winning concessions from the British and expelling the Spanish forces. In the end, Toussaint essentially restored control of Saint-Domingue to France. In response, Napoleon Bonaparte dispatched a large force of French soldiers and warships to the island to restore French rule. On 1 January 1804, Dessalines, the new leader of the 1801 constitution, declared Haiti a

    According to Shaw in “Spartacus and The Slave Wars”, prisoners of war enslaved at the end of the Second Punic War rebelled in 198 B.C. This slave uprising in central Italy is the first reliable report of one, although it was surely not the first actual slave uprising. There were other slave uprisings in the 180s. These were small; however, there were 3 major slave revolts in Italy between 140 and 70 B.C. These 3 uprisings are called the Servile Wars, since the Latin for 'slave' is servus. However these 3 slave wars did not all end in victory. As a matter of fact, the 3 slave revolts failed, ending in murder of the leaders. The reason why the slaves were defeated in the end was basically due to the fact that there was no ultimate goal. They only knew they wanted to be free but did not conceive a plan to go about doing so.…

    Enslaved African Americans resisted slavery in a variety of active and passive ways. "Day-to-day resistance" was the most common form of opposition to slavery. Breaking tools, feigning illness, staging slowdowns, and committing acts of sabotage—were all forms of resistance and expression of slaves' alienation from their masters. Running away was another form of resistance. Most slaves ran away relatively short distances and were not trying to permanently escape from slavery. I have chosen to talk about five different instances when slaves rebelled or revolted. The five revolts I chose to discuss throughout my paper are Denmark. Vesey ‘s Slave Revolt of 1822, the New Orleans Louisiana Revolt of January 1811, the New York City Slave Rebellion…

    While the most famous of the rebellions was the Nat Turner rebellion, there were hundreds if not thousands of other slave rebellions in varying sizes. Common conditions developed in each slave rebellion. Rebellions were most likely to occur when: slaves outnumbered whites, overseers or plantation owners were away or absent, times of economic hardship, and in case of turmoil at the top of plantation. There is evidence of more than 250 uprisings in the 17th, 18th, and 19th century in the U.S. with each involving at least ten slaves. While these small rebellions were numerous and occurred often, five slave rebellions really stand out in American history. Again, the most famous case of slave rebellion is the Nat Turner rebellion in Virginia. On August 22, 1831, Turner and seventy blacks joined up and went on a killing spree of local whites. After killing Turner’s master and wife, the group moved on and killed between fifty and sixty whites before the rampage ended. Another rebellion was the Stono Rebellion of 1739. This was actually the largest slave rebellion in the U.S. colonies. On Sunday, September 9, 1739, twenty slaves started a revolt after working for free for numerous days. The group started with the killing of their master and moved southward, taking on whites as they came across them. The group of slaves and free blacks ultimately wanted to make it to a colony in Florida where they would be considered free under the Spanish law that took precedent there. Unfortunately, the group was cut off in South Carolina by English soldiers and managed to fight them off for weeks before being defeated. The third most famous slave rebellion in the U.S. was the German Coast Uprising of 1811. Inspired by the Haitian Revolution by Touissant Louverture, slaves revolted in Louisiana, led by Charles Deslondes. On January eighth, Deslondes and his group of twenty men killed his plantation owner’s family. However, they…

    Revolts seemed to be relatively common wherever slavery occurs, be it Ancient Rome, Russia, Haiti, or the United States of America. Slaves, assumedly, had their own reasons to believe that their revolts would be successful whether it was a belief in God's protection, a feeling of strength in numbers, or a general sentiment of being dead would be better than living in slavery, but few had a reason as good as those after the successful slave rebellion that occurred in Haiti. This rebellion led by Toussaint L'Ouverture was an inspiration for a Gaggle of rebellions in America in the nineteenth century, among them Denmark Vesey's, Gabriel's, the Louisiana slave revolt of 1811, and Nat Turner's. These rebellions seemed to have the overall intention of freeing those they took with them, unfortunately while these revolts had many outcomes, few were anything there leaders would have liked.…

    It was possible for small Spanish and Portuguese contingents to claim the Americas in the 1500s because they divided and conquered the indigenous groups residing in the Americas by using intentional tactics that involved advanced armed force and taking advantage of them and their beliefs after gaining their trust and unintentional tactics that included the spread of disease. These tactics were possible to use as the Portuguese and Spaniards had horses and weapons that were advanced compared to the indigenous groups in the Americas. Additionally, several indigenous groups had beliefs that these mysterious people with a white complexion were gods or super natural forces with healing powers as Álvar Nύñez Cabeza de Vaca provided an example in…

    It was also possible for enslaved people to be freed by proclamations by rulers, due to some historical or recent issue. But for most slaves, there were great restrictions on how they could become free. For example, when a slave-owner was brought to trial for an offence, he or she couldn't set any slaves free. Free people couldn't be tortured under interrogation to reveal the truth. Slaves could be tortured and questioned under duress, thought so an accused person's slaves were often tortured in an effort to establish the truth about a situation. Slaves had no basic rights. And if they attempted to run away, they could be tired and punished for stealing their owner's property-themselves. Of course, slave revolts were very common. One very famous revolt was led by a former gladiator named Spartacus, who wondered through Italy with an army of 90.000 freed slaves in the dying days of the Republic. His revolt was put down by Crassus, a member of the First Triumvirate that tired to take over the Republic. There was naturally only one way to deal with this kind of threat to the power of the land-owners and the rich. Revolts and social unrest were almost always put down with brutal force. These violent uprisings were similar to the insurrections of the poor masses in many countries today. This violence afflicts all nations, from Africa to Asia to North America. Whole populations are economically or…

    The Bourbon and Pombal reforms led to insurgencies from 1770-1790. The Great Rebellion starting in 1780 was aimed at getting rid of certain government offices and creating a separate governorship for Cuzco that would be ruled by indigenous peoples. (Lecture notes 3/14/2016) The insurgencies were made up of a large amount of creole and indigenous peoples who wanted more equality and representation in the government. Within the disorganized government system there was a lack of rights for Africans due to their split status of being either freed or a slave.…

    Slave rebellion and resistance was very common in America from the earliest days of uncharacteristic institutions. The act of enslavement endeavored to break the spirit and ignore the humanity of slaves. Resistance and rebellion to enslavement in America were due to the harshest and inhuman conditions that they were subjected to for example working for long hours, working under harsh environments, being beaten up for failing to complete their tasks, denying them freedom to practice their cultural rites like burials and religious ceremonies or denying them a chance to socialize and come in contact with their family member.…

    Many of the Slaves came from the West Indies, or also Jamestown, Virginia in 1619. They all came to North America in need of a reliable source. Many of the slaves were looking for crops such as tobacco, rice, sugar, and indigo. The Chesapeake colonies where a big help with slavery because they helped find everything for the slaves, and helped them get to where they needed to be. In Virginia at the time Stono River Rebellion was taking place, it was also known as a slave rebellion that took part on September 9th, 1739.

    Determining who is and isn't a member of a tribe, or Native American, can be complicated, and the answers don’t always come in a simple "yes" or "no." Part of the reason such determinations can be controversial is because tribes' own rules for establishing membership can vary widely. And many tribes use parentage as a means of defining membership. Known as "blood quantum," the practice defines tribal membership according to the degree of "pure blood" belonging to that tribe.…
