It's depressing that the only slave revolt I ever learned about in high school or college was the one lead by a white guy (John Brown). This video is literally the first time I've ever heard of the Stono Rebellion.
There's another form of resistance that was very important: Culture Slaves maintained and developed their own cultures, kept or modified their religious beliefs and folklores, held onto their languages, identities, music and more. This IS a form of resistance - in a system which relies on the outrageous claim that "you are not a full human", holding onto the personal and cultural markers is a way of rejecting this and declaring one's humanity.
10:23 “Treating enslaved people with less cruelty but continuing to keep them enslaved isn’t really an act of benevolence.” This is for the descendant of slave owners who I saw in a news story that hoped their ancestors were the “good kind of slave owners”... and said it to the descendant of the person whose family had been enslaved.
Ooh I was not expecting that bit about enforcing the horrible theology! This especially interesting because of the Reformation and the printing of Bibles in languages that people could read and how the subsequent "heretics" fled to the Americas. I was not expecting to see history repeating itself like that.
It is right that the success or failure of the rebellion is not the point, but the bare fact that it happened. As with the Warsaw Ghetto uprisings and the other risings in the Holocaust, there too, winning was never the point. They knew they would all die whether they rebelled or not.
I'm from SC and I never heard this story before. It very sad, but I'm glad you put it together for those looking for more understanding of there untold history.
Took a break from the audiobook of How The Word Is Passed by the host, Clint Smith, to watch this; highly recommend the book to anyone who reads this. Illuminating.
I am enraged that schools did not speak about any of these, in the 80s classroom it was presented as if enslaved people were waiting for Lincoln to say "well okay, y'all can go now " This is WHAT education transparency should be.
I really appreciate the fact that the speaker in these videos is Black because far too often Black History is taught by the white people and after a long history of distortion of facts to make them look better it feels better to learn about Black History from a Black scholar.
The Cherokee people were also rebelling against slavery in the 1730s. What a significant time in history where people collectively were rising up against their oppressors. Maybe the 2030s will bring such unity against the ruling classes of our time
I'm so grateful for you and the whole crash course entity! As a homeschooling family, we truly look forward to stepping out of the history books then into the visual of your videos. This is the supplement we all need! Thank you!!
I think one of the best criticisms of slavery on America is by Adam Smith where he proves it was not only unethical and morally wrong, but economically inefficient
That was very informative and answered a lot of questions I had and filled in knowledge gaps. Every man should be free and not based on his skin color.
Is that act after the stono Rebellion referred to as 'the negroe act'? This act was made law in 1740, and called for police force from Britain to enforce. Thank you for your presentation.
I so enjoy your teaching Professor Clint!!! I do not listen to other guy on crash course....Only you!!! I so love learning from you!!! And love u inspiring me w oatmeal 💕
"These attacks weren't haphazard, or indiscriminate." Um, what attacks? This is the first mention of the people attempting to gain their freedom attacking anyone. Up to this point you've only talked about a group of enslaved people dropping their tools and walking south together.

The fact that the slaveholders feared rebellion implies that they knew slavery is wrong.
This is so powerful yet painful to listen to and learn about 😥may all my ancestors r.i.p .

I live in Charleston. Guess who didn't learn about this in school?

gotta love that I grew up in SC and did not know about this at all.

Can ya'll do Black American Literature too?

Man.. that Bible keeps us mentally enslaved

I just want to say I'm loving the pace of this course. It can be difficult to balance the detailed and broad view of history, but this is nailing it!
THANK YOU!! Poor literacy has BEEN a way for colonizers to keep ppl "sub-human"
This series has taught me so much. Thank you!

We legit were learning about famous rebellions on Friday
Thanks for including a slide of the next episode. I always finish these videos and anticipate the next one.
I really wanted to learn about this subject but they never taught it in school 🏫
Thank you for having your thumbnails numbered. I'm a home school mom and the way you have everything laid out makes it so awesome. Thank you
Awesome video. Any plans to make more videos about slave rebellions? I’d love to see one on the 1811 Louisiana slave revolt.
MORE HISTORY!!!!! i wanna hear MORE!!! MOOOOOOOOORRRRREEEEE
If slavery is not wrong then nothing is wrong
Yesssss. Imagine is this was taught in school
I think one of the best criticisms of slavery on America is by Adam Smith where he proves it was not only unethical and morally wrong, but economically inefficient

That was very informative and answered a lot of questions I had and filled in knowledge gaps. Every man should be free and not based on his skin color.
