Stono Rebellion

When most people attended church service, a rebellion commenced in South Carolina, a colony. It was customary for white enslavers to attend church on Sunday without weapons. Most of the population consisted of Black people who planned an attack while the enslavers attended church. Color people stole guns, pistols, and rifles to fight against white men in the colony. In the fall of September, lives ended. African Americans fought that day and made
signs about liberty. The conflict was about people feeling controlled, forced to work, obeying unfair laws, and enduring cruelty daily. The African Americans were seeking freedom, liberation, and humanity.
The controversy of the Stono Rebellion brought focus to the unfair treatment of the African American race. Black-White differences were prevalent throughout the colony. They spoke out with violence instead of their voices. They performed all the hard labor work and endured violence from their owners. The color people fought that day for fair treatment, freedom
to be, freedom to live, freedom to enjoy life like white men. The Stono Rebellion started the conversation about the treatment of individuals.
Men slaughtered that day like animals. Families lost their loved ones, the providers of their households, and properties burnt to the ground. Of course, the behavior of violence is never the solution, but the African Americans had endured harsh conditions for years.
The Black Lives Matter movement and US Capitol insurrection are like the Stono Rebellion. The protest, riots, and rebellion brought Black people’s struggles and issues to the forefront. In 1739 and currently, the battle for fairness, liberty, and equality of the African American race of people continue. The fight for equality, justice, freedom, and fairness for all is a constant discussion.
