The War That Ended Slavery – The Gullah Rebellion_edited
Manage episode 485998893 series 3668919
This presentation "The Gullah Wars" explores a powerful historical narrative arguing that:
The Gullah Wars (also called the Seminole Wars or the “100 Years War”) were a series of rebellions and battles from 1739 to 1858 involving Black African (Gullah/Geechee) and Native American allies.
The commonly accepted myths about slavery and emancipation overlook this extensive and organized resistance.
Key events such as the Stono Rebellion, Negro Fort, and the Battle of Suwannee are presented as military campaigns waged by Black warriors against U.S. forces.
The presentation claims the Emancipation Proclamation was a political cover-up for what was truly a forced concession due to unstoppable Gullah resistance.
