Enslaved people rose across plantations in the northern plain, burning estates and attacking the slaveholding regime. The uprising was organized through networks built by enslaved Africans and their descendants, including people with military, religious, and maroon experience. It turned resistance into a revolution that would abolish slavery and found an independent state.
