What is the Stono Rebellion?<\/h2>\n

The Stono Rebellion was the largest slave revolt in the British colonies. On September 9, 1739, a group of about 20 South Carolina slaves assembled and marched to a firearms store. There, they killed the shopkeepers and armed themselves. Their intention was to escape to Spanish-controlled Florida, where it was rumored they would be granted freedom and lands. On their way, they added to their numbers, gathering a force of around 100 slaves. They marched through town, killing nearly any whites they came across, which totaled 40-50 by the end. The group was met and put down by the South Carolina militia. Most of the rebels not killed in the ensuing battle were captured and soon executed.<\/p>\n
