Okay...I knew about this for a while, but decided to finally post all of this. But I want to wonder why this is not talked about much and by Africanist? Why??? This proves that African Americans were not just slaves, not cowards but resisted slavery all through and that the USA government had to ban slavery not due to the civil war but the Gullah wars. This really did happen and yet many don't know or rarely touch base on it. Many people think of African American history as just being slave history, but this totally debunks that, this shows African American history in a new and different light that we have barely heard of. The Haitians, Jamaicans and Brazilians were not the only ones who had successful slave revolts in the New World. African Americans can be put on that list too and we're not talking about Nat Turner but something big. This is not Afrocentric nonsense that I am about to show(or else I wouldn't even be posting it), but something very important that is needed of MUCH ATTENTION. Forgotten Rebellion: Black Seminoles and the Largest Slave Revolt in U.S. History
Gullah Wars
^^^Everything the man says in the video he cites sources which are in the description box. So what are you guys take on this???

Oh I knew the story going all the way back to J.A Rogers and especially the book Black Indians by William Katz, I don't know why this story have not been made into a movie or even a proper documentary since that's how most of the young gains knowledge The story of John Horse Cohia sub cheif to chief Coacoachee or Wild Cat is one of inspiration they were at war with the United States for 20yrs in an heroic struggle to find a place to called home.

As an African American, this is very uplifting. I am glad I can help. You being African American, how does it make you feel that Black American slaves were actually fighting back and leading large scale slave revolts? Yet none of this is never heard of...

It makes me feel proud. I already knew that black people didn't lay down and take abuse. However, it's great to learn more specific dates of these events. At the same time I'm not surprised this was kept secret. White supremacy has tried it's hardest to erase Black history, but the TRUTH shall prevail.
