The Baptist War: Jamaica's Fight for Freedom

Welcome to the Disafemi History Podcast! In this episode, hosted by Wendy Aris, we delve into a pivotal moment in Jamaican history—the Baptist War, also known as the Christmas Rebellion of 1831-1832. This significant uprising not only altered the course of Jamaica but also played a crucial role in the fight against slavery in the Caribbean. We are joined by Professor Samuel Momodou from Tennessee State University, who brings his expertise and passion for history to explore the events leading up to the rebellion, its key figures like Samuel Sharp, and the lasting impact it had on the abolition movement in Britain and the Caribbean.   Tune in to learn about the harsh conditions that fueled the rebellion, the role of the Baptist Church in organizing resistance, and how this moment in history reflects broader themes of slavery and resistance. Don't miss this insightful discussion that sheds light on an often overlooked chapter of history.
