📅 23 Febrüari 1763 📍

Enslaved people in Berbice began a major uprising for freedom. Within a day, the rebellion had spread across plantations. Led by Coffy and other organizers, the insurgents challenged a colonial system that used violence to extract sugar, coffee, cotton, and cacao from African labor. Lokono, Kari’na, and Warau peoples also had deep histories in the region, which colonial settlement had violently disrupted.
