===Revolts on the Caribbean Islands=== [[File:Plate 2 Retreat of Lt Brady.jpg|thumb|Slaves force the retreat of European soldiers led by Lt Brady during [[Demerara rebellion of 1823]]]] Vincent Brown, a professor of History and of African and African-American Studies at Harvard, has made a study of the Transatlantic Slave Trade. In 2013, Brown teamed up with Axis Maps to create an interactive map of Jamaican slave uprisings in the 18th century called, "Slave Revolt in Jamaica, 1760–1761, A Cartographic Narrative".<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://revolt.axismaps.com/map/ |title=Axismaps.com |access-date=2014-03-05 |archive-date=2021-04-13 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210413060826/http://revolt.axismaps.com/map/ |url-status=live }}</ref> Brown's efforts have shown that the slave insurrection in Jamaica in 1760-61 was a carefully planned affair and not a spontaneous, chaotic eruption, as was often argued (due in large part to the lack of written records produced by the insurgents).<ref>{{Cite web |url=http://colorlines.com/archives/2013/10/this_scholar_created_an_interactive_map_of_slave_rebellions.html |title=Colorlines.com |access-date=2014-03-05 |archive-date=2014-03-18 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140318163744/http://colorlines.com/archives/2013/10/this_scholar_created_an_interactive_map_of_slave_rebellions.html |url-status=dead }}</ref> [[Tacky's War]] was a widespread slave uprising across Jamaica in the 1760s.

These revolts have been widely studied by scholars such as Robert L. Paquette, Gloria García, Manuel Barcia, Aisha K. Finch and Michele Reid-Vazquez. *In the [[Danish West Indies]] an 1848 slave revolt led to emancipation of all slaves in the Danish West Indies. *In [[Puerto Rico]] in 1821, [[Marcos Xiorro]] planned and conspired to lead a slave revolt against the sugar plantation owners and the Spanish Colonial government. Even though the conspiracy was unsuccessful, Xiorro achieved legendary status among the slaves and is part of Puerto Rico's folklore.<ref name="GB">"Slave revolts in Puerto Rico: conspiracies and uprisings, 1795–1873"; by: Guillermo A.
