S3E9: Fedon's Rebellion

<p>In March of 1795, a French free coloured, Julien Fédon, would lead a revolt against the white British elites on the island of Grenada. Inspired by the Haitian Revolution, the French Revolution and activities happening in Guadeloupe; for the next 16 months Fédon would range a battle against the English colonisers. At the end of the uprising, at least 7000 of the Grenadians enslaves were killed along with over 1000 Europeans and free coloured; and wide destruction of property. Even though the Fedon Rebellion was not successful in its mission to overthrow British colonisation in Grenada, the rebellion would be one of the most important events that led to emancipation of enslaves in the anglophone Caribbean in 1838; and also start a revolutionary tradition in Grenada.&nbsp;</p> <p><br></p> <p>For additional reading information on this episode, visit our website at: <a href="https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=video_description&amp;redir_token=QUFFLUhqa0tqb3ZfV0RON3RNcVZGS0RGU0FEVVRoUjhHUXxBQ3Jtc0tuTkl4T1hLLTk0RmVrYjBreVpuN2NMcXplY3ZzTTc1N1QzQktDN29nVFpsNTA5eGRGSXVCLU1mOEtfaUltcjJqRUVlVEFBejRKQXBSa3JGdi1FRTlyV09GUkNaUmlMaWZ4elNHTGZfazRQNXh3LWRkOA&amp;q=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tenementyaadmedia.com%2F">https://www.tenementyaadmedia.com/</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Don't forget to follow us on our social media</p> <p>Twitter: <a href="https://twitter.com/tenementyaad_?lan">https://twitter.com/tenementyaad_?lan</a></p> <p>Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/tenementyaad_/?hl=en">https://www.instagram.com/tenementyaad_/?hl=en</a></p> <p><br></p> <p>Join our Patreon <a href="https://www.patreon.com/tenementyaadmedia">here</a></p> <p>Want to support The Yaad monetary?
