Final answer:
The correct answer is option c) The Stono Rebellion.
Step-by-step explanation:
The violent uprising of a group of slaves in South Carolina in 1739 is known as the Stono Rebellion. This rebellion was led by a literate Angolan named Jemmy, who organized a group of enslaved Africans to fight against the White colonists.
Unfortunately, the militia quelled the insurrection after a significant battle, leading to the death of many participants and severe consequences for the survivors, including execution or being sold to enslavers in the West Indies. It was a dramatic and bloody event in the wider context of enslaved peoples' resistance to their subjugation, which would persist throughout the history of slavery in America.
The Stono Rebellion significantly impacted the history of South Carolina and led to the imposition of harsher controls over enslaved people through laws such as the Negro Act of 1740.
