MARTINIQUE : THE REVOLT OF NegMarrons CARBET October 12 , 1822, while nobody doubted, 4000 armed with cutlasses slaves embark on a bloody massacre of whites. They join several houses around and associate with slaves present in each plantation. They kill their masters too. The movement is becoming increasingly important and fugitive slaves are more likely to overcome their masters for their freedom . This practice effect snowball on the island. We do not count the number of bodies found . The then governor sent 1,000 men including blacks to identify drunken slaves who kill whites under the authority of M. de Percin . Slaves moving at the speed of sound, from town to town , Carbet and Saint -Pierre , Camp Fitzel , housing Ganat where the carnage began ... But the women left behind are captured by the army commander - Percin Canon . This means that they are men who participated in the massacre or not . They are the ones who run the killing NegMarrons . Commander condemns them to be shot immediately. Their heads are then planted on tree trunks very high , so that those who are still in the mountains can see and fear reprisals if they do not engage . The army chief realizing the strength of Negroes in the mountains did send a group of black women to meet them to give them room and inform them that only the guilty will be shot than others return home to their masters but without telling them they were four times more likely than the army that awaited them. They succumb ... All prisoners except make those who killed who represent only a hundred men . Must be killed to the last of the rebels. Every day, day and night , the soldiers awake. One day a soldier crosses Pierre one of the brains of NegMarrons always with his cutlass in hand. Pierre is killed trying to train with him one of the soldiers who wished to send into space, only the shirt it will fall with Brown . The execution took place on November 19 in Saint -Pierre . Several Negroes Carbet each workshop attended by order execution on Nov. 19 . History discourage any inclinations revolt. But history shows that our ancestors have always resisted and fought to break their chains, and the savage repression of the settlers still eventually bow to their rage freedom. #HistoryOfAfrica
