Show Notes

History tells us the Transatlantic Slave Trade was a story of silence, but the archives of the Danish West India Company tell a much darker, more defiant story. In this episode of THE HISTORY OF THE CARIBBEAN, we go deep into the forensic reality of the 1733 rebellion. From the sharpened blades hidden in firewood at Fort Frederiksvaern to the final, haunting leap at Ram Head, we explore the tactical genius of the Akwamu warriors who turned a sugar island into a black kingdom.
