Their destination was Florida, where Spanish authorities had begun liberating freedom seekers from British colonies who were willing to convert to Catholicism. South Carolina militia overtook the freedom seekers near the Edisto River, killing many and recapturing the others. In response, South Carolina lawmakers passed the 1740 Negro Act to further curtail the mobility of enslaved people in the colony. Some historians consider the Stono uprising to be the largest slave rebellion in the British North American colonies.<span class=\"Apple-converted-space\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Related Sources<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"http:\/\/nationalhumanitiescenter.org\/pds\/becomingamer\/peoples\/text4\/stonorebellion.pdf\">Two Views of the Stono Rebellion, 1739<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/dlg.usg.edu\/record\/dlg_zlna_krc130?canvas=0&amp;x=1214&amp;y=1878&amp;w=15236\">Official letters from Don Manuel de Montiano, Governor of East Florida, to Don Juan Francisco de Guemes y Horcasitas, Captain-General of the Island of Cuba, September 30, 1737-January 1, 1741\u00a0<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<hr \/>\n<h2>Related Essays<\/h2>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/regional-essays\/southern-maroon-communities-pargas\/\">Damian Alan Pargas, Southern Maroon Communities<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/thematic-essays\/violence-and-black-resistance-jackson\/\">Kellie Carter Jackson, Violence and Black Resistance<\/a><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>South Carolina freedom seekers head south for Spanish Florida and freedom in what becomes known as the Stono Rebellion, one of the largest slave uprisings in the British North American colonies Date(s): September 9, 1739 Location(s): Stono River, SC Outcome: Recapture and Death Summary: On Sunday morning, September 9, 1739, an initial group of 20 [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":130,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":"","_links_to":"","_links_to_target":""},"categories":[23488,23495],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2757","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-jackson","category-pargas"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2757","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/130"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2757"}],"version-history":[{"count":4,"href":"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2757\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2758,"href":"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2757\/revisions\/2758"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2757"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2757"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/housedivided.dickinson.edu\/sites\/ugrr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2757"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
