The Stono Rebellion: Crash Course Black American History #6

Рет қаралды 400,460

Күн бұрын

Enslaved people resisted their condition in a range of different ways. Oftentimes those ways were small and personal. There were also times when that resistance took on larger, more dramatic forms, like with slave uprisings and rebellions. Today, we'll learn about the Stono Rebellion, which was an uprising led by enslaved people in South Carolina in 1784. We'll also talk about ways that enslaved people resisted in general and methods like enforced illiteracy used by those who sought to keep people in bondage.

There's another form of resistance that was very important: Culture Slaves maintained and developed their own cultures, kept or modified their religious beliefs and folklores, held onto their languages, identities, music and more. This IS a form of resistance - in a system which relies on the outrageous claim that "you are not a full human", holding onto the personal and cultural markers is a way of rejecting this and declaring one's humanity.

The fact that the slaveholders feared rebellion implies that they knew slavery is wrong.

It's depressing that the only slave revolt I ever learned about in high school or college was the one lead by a white guy (John Brown). This video is literally the first time I've ever heard of the Stono Rebellion.

10:23 “Treating enslaved people with less cruelty but continuing to keep them enslaved isn’t really an act of benevolence.” This is for the descendant of slave owners who I saw in a news story that hoped their ancestors were the “good kind of slave owners”... and said it to the descendant of the person whose family had been enslaved.

Took a break from the audiobook of How The Word Is Passed by the host, Clint Smith, to watch this; highly recommend the book to anyone who reads this. Illuminating.

Ooh I was not expecting that bit about enforcing the horrible theology! This especially interesting because of the Reformation and the printing of Bibles in languages that people could read and how the subsequent "heretics" fled to the Americas. I was not expecting to see history repeating itself like that.

It is right that the success or failure of the rebellion is not the point, but the bare fact that it happened. As with the Warsaw Ghetto uprisings and the other risings in the Holocaust, there too, winning was never the point. They knew they would all die whether they rebelled or not.

I just want to say I'm loving the pace of this course. It can be difficult to balance the detailed and broad view of history, but this is nailing it!

@tigerlilly9038 3 жыл бұрын

I am enraged that schools did not speak about any of these, in the 80s classroom it was presented as if enslaved people were waiting for Lincoln to say "well okay, y'all can go now " This is WHAT education transparency should be.

I think one of the best criticisms of slavery on America is by Adam Smith where he proves it was not only unethical and morally wrong, but economically inefficient

I really appreciate the fact that the speaker in these videos is Black because far too often Black History is taught by the white people and after a long history of distortion of facts to make them look better it feels better to learn about Black History from a Black scholar.

Awesome video. Any plans to make more videos about slave rebellions? I’d love to see one on the 1811 Louisiana slave revolt.

The Cherokee people were also rebelling against slavery in the 1730s. What a significant time in history where people collectively were rising up against their oppressors. Maybe the 2030s will bring such unity against the ruling classes of our time

Is that act after the stono Rebellion referred to as 'the negroe act'? This act was made law in 1740, and called for police force from Britain to enforce. Thank you for your presentation.

"These attacks weren't haphazard, or indiscriminate." Um, what attacks? This is the first mention of the people attempting to gain their freedom attacking anyone. Up to this point you've only talked about a group of enslaved people dropping their tools and walking south together.
