Rogues- The Bussa Slave Rebellion Barbados

 

Bussa's Slave Rebellion made the colonial planters hesitate about the risks of oppressing totally free people from Africa. The UN calls it a crime against humanity. 

The rebelling was overcome by the English Militia, which included many free Africans as well as slaves. Although it did not topple the plantocracy, it did assist the case for the anti-slavery activists and made planters make note that slavery was not sustainable.
