The first known large-scale revolt of enslaved people on Curaçao began on 5 July 1750. Colonial repression followed. Later records and histories preserve only fragments of the rebels’ actions and goals; the revolt should be read as resistance to slavery, not merely as a disturbance to colonial order.
