The Stono Revolt of September 1739 was the largest slave rebellion in America before the American Revolution. However, the dramatic story of the Stono Rebellion that erupted in the coastal lowlands of South Carolina has been long overlooked and ignored in America, partly because it was begun by black Roman Catholics from Angola and their primary objective was to reach the "land of free" in Spanish Florida far to the south—a remarkable story of courage and sacrifice in the name of liberty.
