Explanation:

The Stono Rebellion (sometimes called the Cato Rebellion) was the largest slave uprising in the North American colonies. There were 25 colonists killed in this uprising and up to 50 African slaves. There was said to be a free black community called Fort Mosé outside St. Augustine that was founded just a year earlier. Unfortunately, those who revolted were either killed or captured and re-sold into slavery in the West Indies.
