It was only after the arrival of 400 French soldiers from Martinique that the fort was retaken. The French forces ended the rebellion after months of brutal conflict in May 1734. Fortsberg’s ruins still stand as a testament to the rebels' bravery.

Through collective resistance, Queen Mary and the workers demanded the right to move freely, negotiate wages, and end the control of plantation owners. At its heart, the uprising was about dignity and humanity for workers subjected to generations of exploitation.

Charles Deslondes, the leader, was captured and subjected to horrific punishment before his execution. Heads of rebels were gruesomely displayed on pikes along the Mississippi River to instill fear and suppress future resistance.

The rebellion terrified local authorities, who rallied militias and federal troops. On Jan 10, 1811, the rebels were confronted near Kenner, Louisiana. Though outnumbered, they fought bravely. Many were killed, and those captured faced brutal retaliation.

As the rebels advanced, they burned plantations and recruited others, swelling their numbers to over 200. Their message was clear: they were done living under the yoke of slavery. Their ultimate goal? Overthrow the system and create a free society.

The rebellion began at the Andry plantation on Jan 8, 1811. Armed with tools and muskets, the rebels attacked, killed two enslavers, and burned the plantation house. This was no isolated act; it was the start of a march toward New Orleans.
