The Morant Bay Rebellion was led by Paul Bogle, a Baptist deacon and local leader in Jamaica. In 1865, he organized the uprising in response to social and economic injustices faced by the Black population, including landlessness and poor working conditions. The rebellion was met with violent repression by colonial authorities, resulting in significant loss of life and the execution of many participants, including Bogle himself. The event highlighted the deep-rooted grievances against colonial rule and contributed to discussions about reform in Jamaica.
