	Slave rebellion - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Slave rebellions have occurred in nearly all societies that practice slavery, and are amongst the most feared events for slaveowners.
		Famous historic slave rebellions have been led by Denmark Vesey; the Roman slave Spartacus; the thrall Tunni who rebelled against the Swedish king Ongenþeow, a rebellion that needed Danish assistance to be quelled; Madison Washington during the Creole case in 19th Century America; and Granny Nanny of the Maroons who rebelled against the British.
		Slaves were brought to the isthmus from many regions in Africa now in modern day countries like the Congo, Senegal, Guinea, and Mozambique.

	New York Slave Insurrection of 1741 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The New York Slave Insurrection was a slave revolt in the British colony of New York in 1741.
		The slaves of New York were accused of being part of a conspiracy that they had planned, which was to burn down the city and kill all the white citizens and make themselves the rulers.
		The accusations of the fires were a result of the tension that existed between the economic needs of the colony of New York and the whites' resentment for losing their jobs to the slaves.

		New York was still considered as a proprietary colony of James; New Jersey was severed from it, and became a distinct province.
		New York meanwhile was left under the charge of Lieutenant- Governor Brockholls, a Roman Catholic, and of course a high Tory- -an inefficient man, utterly unable to cope with the situation.
		New York City was of course the governmental seat or capital, as well as the metropolis of' the province.

	Examples of scholarly oversight of the Black Seminole slave rebellion, the largest slave revolt in U.S. history
		Jesup viewed the connections between the Seminole maroons and the plantation slaves as extremely dangerous because he knew that plantation rebels had led some of the attacks on the white forces and he feared the connection could lead to a wider servile war and general slave insurrection along the southern borderlands.
		The largest slave revolt in the United States took place in Louisiana in 1811 and involved between 300 and 500 slaves; it alone was comparable in size to those of the Caribbean—that is, comparable to the modest ones.
		The most impressive slave revolts in the hemisphere proceeded in alliance with maroons or took place in periods in which maroon activity was directly undermining the slave regime or inspiring the slaves by example.

	@BFS!
		Given the colony’s urban environment, a slave’s life in New York was very different from a slave’s life on a plantation in the South where large numbers of slaves lived and worked together on the same property.
		A typical slave in New York would be the only slave a family owned and would thus be separated from a spouse who might live with a family in another part of town.
		Still, the British held somewhat true to their word and decreed that 3,000 New York slaves who had fought for the British would be freed and allowed to relocate their families to a free colony that had been established in Nova Scotia, Canada.

	Reserve Text: The Many Headed Hydra
		The rebels of 1741 traveled along the wharves for secret meetings, gathering at Hughson's, at Comfort's on the Hudson, and "at the house of one Saunders, upon the dock." The docks and taverns, like ships, were places where English, Irish, African, Native American, and West Indian per- sons could meet and explore their common interests.
		New Spain's officials in Florida followed through on the promise by creating an offi- cial maroon village on the northern edge of their settlement, called Gracia Real Santa Teresa de Mose, where a hundred runaways, mostly from Carolina, were settled and transformed into a first line of defense against English attacks from the north.
		The agi- tators and organizers of insurrection were to be not priests, as the para- noid Protestants of New York thought, bur rather former slaves, who would operate through precisely the kinds of networks that existed in And yet the insurrection in New York failed.

	Digital History
		Slave revolts were most likely when slaves outnumbered whites, when masters were absent, during periods of economic distress, and when there was a split within the ruling elite.
		After a slave conspiracy was uncovered in New York City in 1740, 18 slaves were hanged and 13 were burned alive.
		In Jamaica, slaves outnumbered whites by ten or eleven to one; in the South, a much larger white population was committed to suppressing rebellion.

	New York Burning : Liberty, Slavery, and Conspiracy in Eighteenth-Century Manhattan
		Jill Lepore's New York Burning: Liberty, Slavery And Conspiracy In 18th Century Manhattan receives a vivid reading by Beth McDonald and tells of an 18th century conspiracy by slaves to destroy New York City: a history nearly forgotten were it not for this vivid story.
		The New York of the mid-eighteenth century was dependent on slave labor, as was everywhere in the New World.
		New Yorkers began to insult the witness on the street, yelling at her, "There was no plot!" Thus the doubts about a conspiracy were present even while slaves were being killed for it, but Lepore makes the case that political conflict between the Court and Country Parties helped fuel conspiracy fears.

	Hidalgo: October 2005
		This new colonialism placed the subjugated under seemingly unending domination, discriminated on the basis of race (a new concept in itself), and was concerned almost exclusively with the accumulation of capital through natural resources first, and then through other means too.
		This new equipment also helped to keep frequent contact with the new colons (or colonists, European settlers and their descendents) in distant lands, and thus support their conquests and guarantee their loyalties even across oceans.
		By negotiating with the colonial power the runaways seemingly betrayed their fellow exploited slaves, but in these occasions they were in fact admitting the overwhelming power of European colonialism, and preferred to survive and continue resisting rather than to disappear into the oblivion.

		Three and a half decades before the city of New York witnessed the first great battle waged by the new United States of America for its independence, rumors of a massive conspiracy among the city's slaves spread panic throughout the colony.
		African slaves in colonial times were viewed by authorities and citizens much as some foreigners are today: inherently dangerous, easily identifiable, and constantly conspiring.
		With sensitivity to deadly conspiracy heightened by 9/11, Hoffer deftly wraps the events of 1741 in a context packed with the tension of producing swift and sensible justice in a society bedeviled by racial and religious bigotry and by unreliable rules of evidence and procedure.

		Out of fear, several slaves testified against others, and the bulk were sent into brutal slavery in the Caribbean.
		Drawing primarily on New York Supreme Court justice Daniel Horsmanden's Journal of the Proceedings in The Detection of the Conspiracy formed by Some White People, in Conjunction with Negro and Other Slaves, Lepore demonstrates that whites' fear of fl rebellion led them to blame any threat to the colony on the activity of slaves.
		Using a combination of her keen and humane eye and the latest in computer methods, Lepore recovers the slave city of 18th-century NYC in moving detail.
