The Creole Rebellion: One of the Most Successful Slave Revolts in American History

In the Fall of 1841, 128 enslaved African Americans won their freedom aboard “The Creole” slave brig sailing from Richmond, Va. to New Orleans, La. One most the successful slave rebellions in U.S. History, Madison Washington and 18 other enslaved men took over “The Creole” from slave traders, passengers, and a 10 person crew.

Demanding freedom, the enslaved had their captors sail them to Nassau in the British West Indies, where slavery was abolished. While most of the enslaved people on board gained immediate freedom, Washington and his collaborators were seized under charges of mutiny to answer for the slave trader killed in the revolt. The charges were ultimately dropped. It was decided that the African Americans on board “The Creole” were illegally enslaved and had the right to use force to gain their freedom.

Artist Dread Scott Organizes Reenactment Of 1811 Louisiana Slave Revolt : NPR https://nolachic.blog/2019/11/10/artist-dread-scott-organizes-reenactment-of-1811-louisiana-slave-revolt-npr/ Armed with pitchforks, cane knives, machetes and muskets, about 300 people dressed in period costumes, some on horseback, marched toward New Orleans as part of the second day of artist Dread Scott’s elaborate re-enactment of the 1811 German Coast slave revolt. The rebellion, considered the largest slave revolt in the nation’s history, ended with a slave-owner’s militia executing about two-dozen rebels, and placing their heads on poles as a warning to others. On Saturday, Dread Scott’s re-enactment ended with a celebration in Congo Square alongside musicians, dancers, drummers, and healers. #nolalife #slaverebellion, #filmmaker #JohnAkomfrah, #NewOrleans #SlaveRebellionReenactment, #slaverevolt, #africanamerican, #GermanCoastUprising, #nola, #Slavery, #dreadscott, #culture, #history, #SlaveRebellionReenactment, #1811, #nolablogger #neworleans #frenchquarter #melanin #blackhistory #africanhistory #blackpeople #blackness #march #freedom #riot #event #blacklivesmatter #power #reclaim (at New Orleans, Louisiana) https://www.instagram.com/p/B4ryQMpl2Xl/?igshid=1qzp4pefxb4pb
