Text file produced by Eric Eldred, Thomas Berger, and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team HTML file produced by David Widger "Black Rebellion: Five Slave Revolts" by Thomas Wentworth Higginson is a historical account written in the late 19th century that explores significant slave uprisings in American history. The work discusses various revolts, providing insight into the lives and struggles of enslaved people, with particular focus on the Maroons of Jamaica, Gabriel’s defeat, Denmark Vesey, and Nat Turner’s insurrection. Higginson aims to highlight the enduring spirit of resistance against slavery and the complexities surrounding these events. The opening of the text introduces readers to the Maroons of Jamaica, a group of escaped slaves who successfully resisted colonial powers and maintained their independence in the mountainous terrains of the island. The narrative describes the Maroons' fierce guerrilla tactics under the leadership of notable figures like Cudjoe, their utilization of the rugged landscape to their advantage, and the eventual treaties negotiated with the British that acknowledged their freedom and autonomy. The richness of their culture and the profound motivations behind their rebellion against oppression are poignantly conveyed, setting the stage for exploring the broader themes of resistance and the moral implications of slavery that will unfold in subsequent chapters.
