Coro revolt meets renewed violence and colonial repression

← Bula bèk na Dashboard
📅 12 Mei 1795 📍 Venezuela

After new outbreaks of violence on 12 May, colonial authorities intensified repression. The Coro revolt was defeated, but its demands for freedom, abolition of slavery, and the removal of burdensome taxes reveal a political program, not simply a spontaneous disturbance. Sources record the violence from colonial and later institutional perspectives; the insurgents’ own voices survive unevenly.
