<span style="font-size: 20pt"> TACKY</span>


Tacky's War, or Tacky's Rebellion, was an uprising of black African slaves that occurred in Jamaica in May, June and July of 1760. It was the most significant slave rebellion in the Caribbean until the Haitian Revolution in 1790.

The leader of the rebellion, Tacky, had been a Coromantee chief before being enslaved. Beginning in St. Mary in the early morning of Easter Monday, Tacky and a group of supporters, most or all Coromantee, moved inland.<span style="font-size: 20pt"> They took over plantations and killed the white plantation owners. Their plan was to overthrow British rule and to establish an African kingdom in Jamaica.</span> <span style="color: #FF0000">Unfortunately for the rebellion, a slave from one of the rebel controlled plantations escaped and informed white </span>authorities(UNFORTUNATELY WE STILL HAVE PEOPLE LIKE THESE WHO WILL SELL OUT THEIR OWN). After the mobilization of a planter militia, regular troops and a Maroon force allied to the British, many of the rebels returned to their plantations. Some, including Tacky, fought on, but when Tacky was killed by a Maroon sharpshooter, the last fighters killed themselves before capture. Tacky's Rebellion was, like many other Atlantic slave revolts, put down quickly and mercilessly by colonial authority. However, Tacky's actions spurred unrest and disorder throughout the island, and it took the local forces some weeks to reestablish order.
