Bussa's Rebellion (14-16 April 1816) was the largest slave revolt in Barbadian history. Several hundred slaves under the leadership of the African-born slave Bussa were defeated by british forces
compare the 1816 revot in barbados to the 1831 revolt in jamaica. by someone.... Before 1816 (in 1640 to be exact) the sugar industry was big. Africans were brought to be slave in these industries. Yet, in 1816 slave by the name of Bussa rebelled, many slaves rebelled with him. 1/5 of the industries were destroyed during the rebellion. Also during this time 176 slaves including Bussa died. 214 slaves got excuteed. On the bright side in 1834 Thanks to Bussa, te slavery upon these Africans was demolished, then and now Bssa is a hero in Barbados. BY: Girly girl 1617. PS: I only know all this because I am doing a project about Barbados and to me Bussa is a hero.
