史唐諾起義，1739年9月9日

1739年9月9日，星期天的清晨，20名黑奴在南卡羅萊納州的史唐諾河畔祕密會面，商量他們的投奔自由大計。數分鐘後，他們衝進位於史唐諾橋上哈齊森的店，殺了兩名店員，偷走槍枝和一些補給品。

奴隸團體往南行而且數量大幅成長；史唐諾起義是殖民地在美國獨立革命之前，最大規模的暴動，正在暗中不斷醞釀。


Early on the morning of Sunday, September 9, 1739, 20 black slaves met in secret near the Stono River in South Carolina to plan their escape to freedom. Minutes later, they burst into Hutcheson's store at Stono's bridge, killed the two storekeepers, and stole the guns and powder inside.

The group of slaves grew in number as they headed south. Stono's Rebellion, the largest slave uprising in the Colonies prior to the American Revolution, was under way.
