史唐諾起義，1739年9月9日
在殖民地時期以及稍後1822年的南方政府邦聯時期，史唐諾起義在250份起義的文獻記載中，只被提到一次，是一項煽動9000名奴隸成為凡賽起義暴亂名單的陰謀。1831年坦納起義，將近六十個白人被殺，而坦納最後被處決。
1739年奴隸的主人在史唐諾河畔追捕背叛者時，有60至100個奴隸參與追捕戰役，超過20個卡羅萊納白人，以及兩倍以上的卡羅萊納黑人被殺。因此，南卡羅萊納州的法律制定者，制定了極為苛刻的奴隸法規。新法規嚴格限制奴隸的權利，他們不再准許奴隸生產自己的食物、聚會、賺錢及讀書識字。部份限制至今仍
存在，只是沒有嚴格執行。
Stono's rebellion was only one among the 250 rebellions documented in the Colonies and later in the southern United States. In 1822, a conspiracy to incite 9,000 slaves became known as Vesey's Rebellion. After Nat Turner's Rebellion in 1831, where nearly 60 white people were killed, Turner was executed.
When the slave owners caught up with the rebels from the Stono River in 1739, they engaged the 60 to 100 slaves in a battle. More than 20 white Carolinians, and nearly twice as many black Carolinians, were killed. As a result, South Carolina's lawmakers enacted a harsher slave code. This new code severely limited the privileges of slaves. They were no longer allowed to grow their own food, assemble in groups, earn their own money or learn to read. Some of these restrictions were already in place, but they had not been strictly enforced.
