	Genovese, Slave Revolts in Hemispheric Perspective (1981)
		The slaves of the Caribbean knew that London had the power to abolish slavery, especially after it abolished the slave trade, but the slaves of the Old South experienced little or no exterior power except that of their masters, whose consent was necessary even to abolish the African slave trade.
		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.
		Increasingly, the slaves had to bid for the abolition of slavery as a system-bid, that is, not as particular groups for their own freedom but for a social revolution and the freedom of all.

		The first war with slaves occurred in the infancy of Rome, in the heart of the city, when Herdonius Sabinus was their leader, and when, while the state was distracted with the seditions of the tribunes, the Capitol was besieged and wrested by the consul from the servile multitude.
		We may, however, support the dishonour of a war with slaves, for though they are, by their circumstances, subjected to all kinds of treatment, they are yet, as it were, a second class of men, and may be admitted to the enjoyment of liberty with ourselves.

		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.

		As has been previously mentioned (and this again is an indication of the attitude of the slaves), Methodists, Quakers, and Frenchmen were to be spared by the rebels.
