The Insurrection of 1829 was a slave rebellion in the Southern Confederation in 1829, one of over 600 slave uprisings recorded between 1810 and 1836. Although Sobel does not indicate what part of the S.C. the insurrection took place in, or how many slaves took part, he does say that it resulted in the deaths of over 3,000 Negro slaves and 1,400 whites. Sobel also suggests that the organizers of the insurrection were inspired by Howard's Rebellion, which took place in Virginia and North and South Carolina in 1815.
Sobel's sources for the Insurrection of 1829 are Theodore Holmes' Slave Rebellions of the 1820s (New York, 1945); and Ricardo Rodriguez's Slavery as an Issue in the Southern Confederation (Mexico City, 1970).
