Great Emperor Tigerstar, I love your mapping videos!

Only in the British Empire would slaves go on strike before rebelling.

[@mildlyinfuriatedbird2557]

Would have stayed a strike if th british slave owners didn't respond with violence!

[@danubeisreallypeculiarrive7944]

​@mildlyinfuriatedbird2557It's kinda weird how these "peaceful" "civilized" people are always the first to fire on people that are are on strike.

I didn't know anything about this uprising. Thank you, emperor!

[@Bushman-fi8tk]

Nice video

[@theRTSchultz]

I would love to know the reason behind the name of this conflict

[@GrandTemplarVigilant]

Samuel Sharpe was a preacher at the Baptist church and his religious beliefs were some of the inciting factors of the initial strike.

[@mildlyinfuriatedbird2557]

Sam sharpe was a Baptist preacher, and many pro slavery people thought the war was triggered by the anti slavery preachings of the baptists. It's aldo known as the Christmas Rebellion since it began on Christmas

[@Zaphod771]

Baptist theology states that all people have the opportunity to accept Christ as their savior and to become the "elect" or chosen people of God. The practical ramifications of this are twofold: 1. Becoming a Christian must be a choice made by the believer, which means that Baptism is a public statement of faith that each Baptist makes to follow Christ even to death. 2. Since all people are equally valuable to God, it creates an incentive for slave-owning Baptists to reconsider the institution of slavery. This also played a role in the United States abolitionist movement. In other words, if each person has equal opportunity to choose Christ (including Baptism, communion, etc.) to be their new master, then the question must be asked what right does any man have to own another soul? The question was not universally answered the same way among Baptists, but it was Baptist theology that prompted them to even question the institution of slavery at all in the first place. Once the Baptist Churches began to discuss the question, the other Christian denominations began to ask it as well. However, the Baptists themselves owe some of their ideas to the Moravians, the Anabaptists, and an ancient Church father named Cyril of Jerusalem.

Perhaps as you delve into your curiosity in question...? To discover! more inquiry. That you begin to see your own witness. Since we all only input our questions as individuals.

[@Ifoundnohappinesshere]

These obscure wars usually have funny name that were given by historian huh.

[@mildlyinfuriatedbird2557]

It's called the Baptist war due to the fact that Sam sharpe, a slave with freedom of movement, was an honorary deacon for the Baptist church Of Jamaica. The Baptists were also believed to have spread revolutionary sentiment among the enslaved people who joined the revolt. The baptists were only really anti-slavery though, and hadn't been found to be triggering the war. In Jamaica, we also call it the Christmas Rebellion since the non revolt protest began around Christmas

[@Dariusz_1.618]

One of the reason to end slavery in 19th century. First was of course rebellion in Haiti. Simple dealing with rebellions were far more costly than maintaining slavery.

[@segarcea4106]

Confederates be like: "What in tarnation... You're paying them?"

[@timvlaar]

No, the slaves revolted, because they weren't being paid.

[@RKNYC]

The money would straight back to them for food and basic necessities

[@utmelidzedaniel418]

Interesting, that the rebels' goal (at least in the beginning) was to receive wage for their forced labor rather than total freedom. Did slaves' uprisings do that often?

They banned the slave TRADE in 1806-1807, but slavery itself wouldn't be banned until 1833

[@RealTomati]

EmperorTigerStar, your videos are great, love your videos form Germany! 🇩🇪 I have an question, can you do a history about Germanic tribes form (450BC-225AD)?

[@gueratom]

Sometimes the evil wins a battle.

[@slamwall9057]

Yes but they lost the war. The revolt basically succeeded in the long run as it accelerated the abolitionist process, thus causing the abolition of slavery in the British Empire

[@prussia77]

at least it helped

[@kellenlean2076]

Might not have won the battle. But in the end. The slaves won the war. Sometimes you must plant a tree whose fruits you will never see.

I often defend the British Empire as not as bad as many people want it to be, given the context of the time. Jamaica is an exception, the British behaved horribly there.

[@board-qu9iu]

I do agree that Britain wasn’t particularly bad compared to other world powers of the time but yeah like all the other great powers, they do shit like this
