The 1739 Stono Rebellion was a significant slave uprising in South Carolina, where enslaved Africans, driven by the desire for freedom and inspired by the prospect of Spanish support, revolted against their enslavers. The rebellion began on September 9, when a group of about 20 enslaved individuals seized weapons and killed several white colonists as they marched toward Florida. The uprising was eventually suppressed by colonial militia, resulting in the deaths of many rebels and harsher slave laws in the aftermath. This event highlighted the growing tensions between enslaved individuals and their owners in the American colonies.
