📅 10 Mei 1795 📍 Venezuela

At the Macanillas estate in Curimagua, enslaved and free Afro-descendant and Indigenous people rose against colonial rule. The insurgents called for abolition of slavery, an end to alcabala taxation, and a republican order. The revolt links local demands to wider Atlantic struggles while centering people who made emancipation a political demand before state abolition.
