Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

The Stono Rebellion, which occurred in 1739 in South Carolina, led to tightened controls on slaves, including restricting their movement and limiting their ability to gather in groups. It was not the only successful slave revolt of the colonial era, as there were several others, including the 1712 New York slave revolt and the 1741 slave conspiracy in New York City. The rebellion was not incited by a law forcing Christianity on slaves, although some historians argue that the Stono rebels may have been influenced by newly arrived slaves who were Christianized in Africa. It also did not come about as a result of Spanish interference, although some believe that the rebels may have been influenced by Spanish officials in Florida.
