๐Ÿ“… 19 August 1795 ๐Ÿ“

Colonial forces met the insurgents near Porto Mari. Contemporary accounts record negotiations in which Tula rejected proposals that left enslaved people unfree. His stated demand was liberty. The archive is colonial in origin, so the rebelsโ€™ arguments must be read through records made by officials and clergy.
