À propos de ce contenu audio

In 1760, an enslaved Coromantee warrior named Tacky led a massive armed uprising across Jamaica's St. Mary Parish. This episode dives into the revolt's Akan origins, the role of Maroon leaders who initially supported then betrayed the rebels, and the brutal British reprisals including mass executions and the use of imported bloodhounds. We explore how Tacky's rebellion reshaped colonial policy, tightened slave laws, and became a symbol of resistance that echoes in Jamaica's national consciousness. Key figures include Tacky, Apongo (also known as Wager), and Maroon leader Cudjoe. The episode examines the African military tactics—conch shell signals, poison oaths—and the rebellion's brutal suppression with over 400 enslaved people killed. It also connects to later revolts like the Baptist War and Morant Bay, showing a continuous thread of Jamaican resistance.
