The Creole Rebellion tells the suspenseful story of a successful
mutiny on board the slave ship Creole. En route for a New Orleans
slave-auction block in November 1841, nineteen captives mutinied,
killing one man and injuring several others. After taking control
of the vessel, mutineer Madison Washington forced the crewmen to
sail to the Bahamas. Despite much local hysteria upon their
arrival, all of the 135 slaves aboard the ship won their freedom
there. The revolt significantly fueled and amplified the slave
debate within a divided nation that was already hurtling toward a
Civil War. While this is a book about the United States confronting
the ugly and tumultuous issue of slavery, it is also about the 135
enslaved men and women who were unwilling to take their oppression
any longer and rose up to free themselves in a bloody fight. Part
history, part adventure, and part legal drama, Bruce Chadwick
chronicles the most successful slave revolt in the pages of
American history.
