Rebellion! From 1763 to 1823

Just who “installed” this government Cde Aubrey?

Since the late historian Vere T. .Daly exposed me to the drama, the daring, the revolutionary survivalist spirit of the 1763 Berbice rebels, during my 1964-1966 teacher-training, I’ve remained intrigued by that story. Especially when February comes around. Pity it’s just once per year!

I have also read the research analyses and conclusions regarding our Berbician 1763 revolt by quite a few other historians since my in-person classroom encounters with Mr. Vere T. Daly. So as promised – since this February is hurtling to its end – I’ll share with readers – especially the younger teachers and students – some of my favourite and the more factual but provocatively insightful elements of that daring 1763 Revolt against brutal oppression of Africans by Dutch Europeans. Consider these highlights. And some intricacies.
