On April 7 1760, in the midst of the Seven Year War, approximately 1,500 enslaved individuals in Jamaica initiated what would be the largest slave revolt in the history of the British empire. To this day, however, many questions remain about this significant part of the history of slavery and imperialism: "Was the revolt a unified and coordinated affair, or was it instead a series of opportunistic riots? What in fact did the rebels hope to achieve? Was there ever a real danger to the British Empire in America or was the threat blown out of proportion by panicked whites? If the insurrection was as well planned as the colonists feared, why didn't it succeed?" Harvard University Professor and Historian Vincent Brown created this interactive map and timeline of the revolt in order to facilitate exploration of these questions among history scholars and students alike. Visitors of this digital history project may want to start by reading the Project section, which provides an overview of both the history of the revolt as well as Brown's mapping project. Visitors can then explore the project itself via the Map tab. This incorporates text from primary documents to create an illuminating narrative. Those interested in researching the revolt further will want to check out the extensive bibliography available in the Sources tab.
