Slave revolts in the Caribbean
Jamaica holds the record for slave revolts. There wer uprisings in 1655, 1673, 1760 and in the 1790s. There was at least one serious plot in Trinidad in 1805; Guyana was actually governed by a slave named Cuffy for a year after the revolt in 1763; and Barbados included six plots between 1649 and 1701.
