The Berbice slave uprising was a slave revolt in Guyana that began on 23 February 1763 and lasted to December. It is seen as a major event in Guyana's anti-colonial struggles, and when Guyana became a republic in 1970 the state declared 23 February as a day to commemorate the start of the Berbice slave revolt.

"Those who love peace, prepare for war" - the Bible. "Turn ur shear plow into spears" - the Bible. It is the way of the manifested cell regardless of being flora or being fauna to obey the Primordial Urges - Self-Preservation and Self-Perpetuation in the hope of harmony and perfect, organic flux. Yet, as we moved from harmonizing flora and fauna to self-awareness and differences, each taking approximately 20,000 years, 5/8s of our human written history is war and conflict. U see, the issue of self-awareness is self-determination. Even as close to harmony as our early ancestors were, there is still the lack of enuff knowledge to live in harmony as the ego of the individual rose thru the pressing need for survival thru our wars. Alongside the development of the ego is the universal consciousness becoming less evident as harmony becomes only that of the human race/ego. Once the ego was attached to ppls as consciousness had not reached the level of insensitivity to others and increased sensitivity to ourselves of modernity,...now it is new as it is totally individualistic as placing one's name on a building. New traits for new issues of survival using old traits r dumb. Anyway check out The Berbice slave uprising was a slave revolt in Guyana that began on 23 February 1763 and lasted to December.

And then,...oops, another betrayal by USA to put the yoke back on Haiti for 99 years. Keep it real. Speak of past glories is rather trite. At 55 years old, and quite knowledgeable of these "glories" by 14 years old, our self-stigmatization hides within the levels of our existence and we adopt the polarized versions of the same traits that we despite. How can we challenge any traits that holds us enslaved when we cannot look into the mirror and challenge the same we see in ourselves? Yet, the right thing to do is hold true to core of self and nature. Attract the resentment and hatred of the corrupt. Die earlier that 85 years old and let ur "truth" be added to the nature of the universe to hold at bay the deceit added by 86% of the present population of the globe which then adds they new consciousness of indifference to the survival of our race".

[@perfectbeat]

Yes, I agree. Also some Native tribes accepted runaway slaves and accepted them into the tribe. How many tribes accepted the Africans and how many didn't, I don't know.

[@nialcc]

perfectbeat - Yes they did. See here's the problem. Africans in America are so confused they see everything as a zero sum game. Native Americans did own slaves but understanding why they did is part of learning the complete history of that time. Think about it. Why would Europeans sell slaves to Native Americans and how did the Native Americans pay for something so expensive? Why would Native Americans feel the need to own slaves and did they really own slaves in the same way Europeans did? To say Native Americans owned slaves is no where near stating what really happened and why.

[@the7thage576]

Fun fact: when Simon Bolivar and his rebels suffered defeats twice at the hands of the colonial Spanish armies during the war for independence in South America he and his forces were given refuge in independent Haiti. In Haiti they were given food, arms, supplies, training in guerilla and conventional warfare and given money, gold and ships to return and resume fighting. The Haitian leader was able to elicit a promise from Bolivar that he would free slaves of all races in any territory he captured. After the successful revolution Bolivar and other leaders praised and thanked Haiti for its help. Several monuments commemorating their gratitude were erected. Three times recently Venezuela was able to alert Haiti and enable them to thwart coup plots by the US and France.

David Madison since the british outlawed slavery long before america did, NOT remaining a british colony set black-americans back YEARS!!! ( i cant tell you exactly how many because, when slavery was outlawed, americans refused to obey and STILL practiced slavery until juneteenth) The british also freed the blacks who fought for them in the revolutionary war. The americans kept the blacks who fought for them as property.(1/8 human to be precise)Fighting for america in the revolutionary was single-handedly the stupidest decision any black man has ever made. It literally set black people back years. Again....i CANT even tell you how many

Susan Byrd It’s easy to see the irony of blacks fighting for the colonies in hindsight but remember there were free blacks as well. Not only that but this nation has a history of making promises that it would not keep.

Susan Byrd I agree to disagree. I don’t like calling people stupid when I have the benefit of over 200 years of hindsight.

They decided to enrich and serve themselves which lent right into the oppressive situation its in now in relation to the Western/US powers.

This channel is greatly appreciated as it paints a richer picture of African history in general , thank you . I'm sure it may be arguable that the Rebellion in Barbados with Bussa in 1816 may not have been one of the top 10 greatest but think it deserves a mention as the geography of that little Island and the fact that the British original slave code of 1661 was written and first implemented there as a blueprint for all it's future slave colonies -South Carolina ,North Carolina ,Virginia and Georgia to name a few- that would have been a momentous undertaking buy any stretch of the mind ..

Another fact worth to bring up here is that the general audience also doesn't know that Haïti is the first nation the United States in cooperation with the European colonial nations, instated an embargo on. This only for the reason that Haïti was a very rich nation at the time, number two after the united states. The Haïtians supported the independence of South America by providing Simon Bolivar with troups and refuge to recuperate after his battles. The reason that Haïti is in such a dire situation today is nothing more or less than the reparation they had to pay France for over a century up to 1922. Haïti was embargoed with the objective of breaking it down and recolonising it, by the us, france, england and even the netherlands. Despite this, Napoleon, yes the so much hailed and praised Napoleon, coerced the Haïtians to have all marroons appraised, even Toussaint l'Overture, Dessaillin etc., and pay the total of appraisals to the french. So in fact after the revolution the Haïtians had to pay for their freedom, thus buying it. The total amount was millions of golden francs, what amounts to several billions of nowadays euro's. This sum Haïti paid from around the 1800's until 1922 or so. Anyone can imagine that with such a heavy burden on your back no country can further deveop itself. Remarkable is that when president Aristide initiated the idea that France should payback this money, suddenly all kinds of allegations against him emerged and finally he was forced to step down. In his place some figure came who looked like a puppet of the capitalist western countries and nothing was ever heard about the repayments by france to Haïti. I respect the late Hugo Chavez for his support to Haïti, not ignoring Haïti's role in the independence of South American nations. While the other nations are bowing like lackeys for the united states, Chavez stood firm for Haïti and Cuba.

All that matter we came together as one people and fought for a common goal (physical freedom), they say we as a people cannot do anything but they are wrong and we will prove it again. We will come together to fight for mental/spiritual freedom for Africa/Africans. As a people even though we're free we have no say on a global scale we have to change that, and that's when we will finally be free.

[@mrrdw77]

The BRIDGE 54 I dont think anyone disputes the reason we won the revolution is that we came together. The problem is the narrative created by the enemy that's distributed to Blacks abroad.
