Answer: The ideal answer should include:



  • The largest slave uprising in colonial North America broke out in 1739 near the Stono River, twenty miles southwest of Charleston. Several factors led to the rebellion.


  • By 1739, blacks exceeded whites nearly two to one among South Carolinas 56,000 people.


  • Working conditions had worsened steadily as rice production expanded.


  • For several decades the Spanish in Florida had been luring slaves from South Carolina.


  • The wide commercial rivalries of Spain and Britain led to open warfare in 1739.


  • An epidemic in Charleston had disrupted public activities, and a new Security Act requiring all white men to carry arms to church was to take effect before the end of September.
