1796 slave insurrection in the Dominican Republic

The 1796 Boca de Nigua Rebellion was a slave rebellion that occurred in what became the Dominican Republic. It was the largest slave revolt in Dominican history. The revolt was brutally suppressed. However, it laid the foundations for the defense of black human rights in Santo Domingo, which remained a social issue well into the mid-19th century.
