๐Ÿ“… 23 November 1733 ๐Ÿ“

Enslaved people, many of Akwamu origin, seized the Coral Bay fort and began a sustained uprising against Danish colonial rule. Breffu and other insurgents became leaders in a struggle that lasted months. Danish records described the revolt through a colonial lens; the uprising shows enslaved people organizing military action and self-liberation across plantation communities.
