The War That Ended Slavery – The Gullah Rebellion_edited

This presentation "The Gullah Wars" explores a powerful historical narrative arguing that:

• The Gullah Wars (also called the Seminole Wars or the “100 Years War”) were a series of rebellions and battles from 1739 to 1858 involving Black African (Gullah/Geechee) and Native American allies.

• The commonly accepted myths about slavery and emancipation overlook this extensive and organized resistance.

• Key events such as the Stono Rebellion, Negro Fort, and the Battle of Suwannee are presented as military campaigns waged by Black warriors against U.S. forces.

• The presentation claims the Emancipation Proclamation was a political cover-up for what was truly a forced concession due to unstoppable Gullah resistance.
