In high school, we pretty much spent a whole semester in AP American history on everything up to 1776. Then we went from 1776 to Manifest Destiny in about a week and spent the rest of the semester going from there to just short of the Great Depression. Then boom, that was the end of my US history lesson in my advanced placement class. It was for college credit too, and I didn't have to take any more history classes. Needless to say, I've never heard of this event.
I think any slave revolt was sending a message to the rest of the country that slavery was wrong. So in that regard, yes, it’s a success. Just as today, we will continue to resist the wrongs of racism. Thanks for another great video on history of Africans in America!!!!!
It's wild that I live less than an hour from the Destrehan Plantation (Referred above as the Andre Plantation it was renamed when another family took possession of it) and was literally never told this in school.
Thanks for talking about this important part of my home state's history. I only recently found out about this event when I was looking up the oldest plantation in Louisiana.
I love these lesser known events of black American History. Thank you, sir! I wonder how much of its lesser known status comes from being far from the epicenter (Louisiana vs. South Carolina or Virginia) or its close proximity to the War of 1812 taking over the national narrative (also lost in the shuffle is the Georgia militia's invasion of Spanish Florida). Great video again!
The point you make about success being overrated is something I've never thought about before, and it really puts into the perspective different forms of protest today. I always knew rebellions and protests mattered even when they fail, but now I better understand why they do.

That's a stereotype that all slaves were submissive and docile. Resistance took many forms.

Sucks that my school never talked about this. So much history gets ignored.
This series is still so well taught. The choice of wording is superb and well thought out.

Those dancing sessions are what led to capeoira in Brazil.

I’ve never heard this story. Wow.

Stono, this one, and Nat Turner are probably the three largest ones. The Nat turner one I find most interesting.
thank you for these ! I am love these and the clarity of the host!
This is the 1st time I heard this story.
2:34 Small note: it's worth mentioning that no Natives were asked, told, or consulted when it came to the Louisiana Purchase
This series should be an obligatory part of school
It’s really incredible how three slaves became smart and effective leaders for their people. We really needed heroes like them back then✊🏾
I had never heard about this rebellion.
Informative and well done content as always CrashCourse. Thank you!
I been learning lot with this channel
American Uprising by Daniel Rasmussen is an excellent book about this revolt. The Andry plantation was a beautiful.
Thank you sir! This is necessary history.
They did a reenactment of this 2 years ago in Destrehan.
Heroes!!!🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
This is why Haiti won’t be allowed to succeed.
This is enlightening
I like this one. I learned about it.
Thank you.
I was watching another video when this video popped up on my phone screen
good stuff
Honestly wish some of these revolts won
Incredible.
We were more focused on World History. I have never been to Louisiana.
