The largest slave revolt in American history,…
January 1811 CE
The largest slave revolt in American history, the 1811 German Coast Uprising, takes place just outside of New Orleans.
Between sixty-four and five hundred enslaved people rise up on the German Coast forty miles outside of New Orleans, and march to within twenty miles (thirty-two kilometers) of the city gates.
The revolt takes the entire military might of the Orleans Territory to suppress and is the greatest threat to American sovereignty in New Orleans.
