Preferred term

Stono Rebellion  

Definition(s)

  • The Stono Rebellion was the first large-scale uprising of enslaved Africans in North America during the colonial period. In the 17th and the early 18th centuries, because the white population was outnumbered by a massive number of Africans imported from the Congo-Angolan region, a series of laws was enacted to repress enslaved Africans in the Carolina colony.
