Rebellion: John Horse and the Black Seminoles, First Black Rebels to Beat American Slavery

Rebellion: John Horse and the Black Seminoles, the first black rebels to beat American slavery, tells the story of an epic quest for freedom that changed American history. The site documents the 19th-century odyssey of John Horse and the Black Seminoles, descendants of free blacks and fugitive slaves who sought freedom on three American frontiers, from Florida to Mexico. The Black Seminoles helped shape American politics toward slavery, inspired the emancipation movement, and led the largest slave rebellion in U.S. history, which historians have overlooked for 167 years. The first source to substantiate the size of the Black Seminole slave revolt, “Rebellion” was written and produced by J.B. Bird, supported by a grant from the Summerlee Foundation under sponsorship from the SouthWest Alternate Media Project.
