View show details

In this episode, Lucas and Luna delve into the explosive 1760 slave rebellion known as Tacky's Revolt, a coordinated uprising of Coromantee (Akan) slaves in St. Mary Parish, Jamaica. They explore the leadership of Tacky, an African-born king from the Gold Coast, the use of Obeah for oath-taking and inspiration, and the brutal suppression that followed. The conversation covers key events like the raid on Fort Haldane, the role of Maroon allies in crushing the rebellion, and the legacy of fear that led to the harsh Obeah Act of 1760. Lucas explains how this revolt differed from others in its scale, organization, and cultural unity, and how it shaped Jamaican slave society for decades. #TackyRevolt #JamaicaHistory #Coromantee #Akan #Obeah #SlaveRebellion #1760 #FortHaldane #Maroons #StMaryParish #PortMaria #DavyTheMaroon #ObeahAct1760 #CaribbeanHistory #Resistance #ColonialHistory #History #FexingoHistory Keep every episode free: buymeacoffee.com/fexingo
