Excerpt: Coordinates: 18°20N 64°44W / 18.333°N 64.733°W / 18.333; -64.733 The 1733 slave insurrection on St. John in the Danish West Indies, (now St. John, United States Virgin Islands ) started on November 23, 1733 when African slaves from Akwamu revolted against the owners and managers of the island's plantations. The slave rebellion was one of the earliest and longest slave revolts in the Americas. The slaves captured the fort in Coral Bay and took control of most of the island. The revolt ended in mid-1734 when troops sent from Martinique defeated the Akwamu. Background Slave trade When the Spanish first occupied the West Indies, they used the indigenous people as slave labor but disease, overworking, and war wiped out this source of labor. When the Danes claimed Saint John in 1718, there was no available source of labor on the island to work the plantations. Young Danish people could not be persuaded to emigrate to the West Indies in great enough number to provide a reliable source of labor. Attempts to use indentured servants from Danish prisons as plantation workers was not successful. Failure to procure plantation labor from others sources made importing slaves from Africa the main supply of labor on the Danish West Indies islands.
