This text by American Thomas Wentworth Higginson contains five chapters of his 'Travellers and Outlaws' and is commonly referred to as 'Black Rebellion Five Slave Revolts'. This book was first published in 1889 and is in the public domain. The Kindle edition has 69 pages/1546 locations and can be read in one evening.The author was a unitarian minister, soldier, abolitionist and author who lived from 1823-1911. Higginson spent much of his live fighting for the rights of freed slaves, women and labourers. This collection contains 5 true accounts of insurrections by black slaves in the Americas. There is a biography at the end of this volume. This book is wellwritten, well researched and reliable. It tells about a sad and embarrasing chapter in history we must not forget. I recommend this book to anyone who is interested in black history, US-history, history of slavery or in history in general.

NAT TURNER'S INSURRECTION (slave revolt in Virginia, US, 1831)
APPENDIX OF AUTHORITIES
As a sample I copy a few lines from the chapter on Denmark Vesey (page 36/location 738) below:
[...]
Denmark Vesey had come very near figuring as a revolutionist in Hayti,
instead of South Carolina. Capt. Vesey, an old resident of Charleston,
commanded a ship that traded between St. Thomas and Cape Français, during
our Revolutionary War, in the slave-transportation line. In the year 1781
he took on board a cargo of three hundred and ninety slaves, and sailed
for the Cape. On the passage, he and his officers were much attracted by
the beauty and intelligence of a boy of fourteen, whom they unanimously
adopted into the cabin as a pet. They gave him new clothes, and a new
name, Télémaque, which was afterwards gradually corrupted into Telmak and
Denmark. They amused themselves with him until their arrival at Cape
Français, and then, "having no use for the boy," sold their pet as if he
had been a macaw or a monkey.

Black Rebellion Five Slave Revolts eBook Thomas Wentworth Higginson Reviews
Great buy!!!
This should be read in all High School Civic Studies classes. (But do they even teach Civics in schools anymore???)
Important perspective, and high time such history is exhumed from under the carpet.
Worth the read
This book was very good to read. I enjoyed reading this book because it increased my knowledge about the slave revolts, that did happen, and we never here about all of them. This book should be required reading in school.
This book personalizes the enslaved revolutionary. Higginson presents these smart organizers who, while fully aware of the consequences, refused to be chattel, and fought for their humanity. Even though most of these rebellions we're suppressed these revolutionaries do not come across as victims, but as victors.
"Black Rebellion" is a book about five different slave insurrections, including revolts led by Denmark Vesey, Nat Turner, and Gabriel Prosser, and lesser-known revolts of anonymous slaves in places like Jamaica and the West Indies. I highly recommend this book for anyone who is building a collection of African-American history books and research materials.
A reasonable recollection on revolts during the slave trade period. Based on/from a Europeans point of view it is relatively well written and moderate in opinion. Not what I would have expected from an New or Old world person giving an account of the activity of the time. Found it refreshing considering how worried I was about reading a subject so close to my own heart.
