The 1811 #German Coast #uprising was a #revolt of #enslaved#Africans in parts of the Territory of #NewOrleans on #January 8–10, 1811. The uprising occurred on the east bank of the #Mississippi#River in what is now St. John the #Baptist, St. #Charles and #Jefferson#Parishes, #Louisiana.

While the #insurgency was the largest in US history, the #rebels killed only two white men. Confrontations with #militia and #executions after #trial#killed 95 #black people.

Between 64 and 125 #enslaved#men#marched from #sugar#plantations in and near present-day #LaPlace on the #GermanCoast toward the city of New Orleans.

They collected more men along the way. Some accounts claimed a total of 200 to 500 slaves participated. During their #two day, twenty-mile #march, the men #burned#five plantation houses (#three completely), several sugarhouses, and crops.

They were #armed mostly with #hand#tools. #White men led by officials of the territory formed militia companies, and in a battle on January 10 killed 40 to 45 of the #escaped slaves while suffering no fatalities themselves, then hunted down and killed several others without #trial.

Over the next two weeks, white planters and officials #interrogated, #tried, #executed and #decapitated an additional 44 escaped slaves who had been captured. Executions were generally by #hanging or #firingsquad. #Heads were displayed on #pikes to #intimidate other slaves.
