	NationMaster - Encyclopedia: Slave rebellion
		Slave rebellions have occurred in nearly all societies that practice slavery, and are amongst the most feared events for slave owners.
		Although the slave trade was officially abolished in the British Empire by the Slave Trade Act of 1807, and slavery itself a generation later with the Slavery Abolition Act 1833, it took until 1850 to be halted in the territories which were to become South Africa.
		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.

		A number of creole slaves - those born in the colony - did not wholeheartedly support the rebellion, and they gave up themselves to plantations which were far removed from the area of rebel activity.
