Talk:1811 German Coast uprising

Untitled
Genovese's work on this uprising is relatively limited. The primary sources, as translated by Conrad, are the most reliable. Rothman's scholarship is excellent, but many of the incorrect details I removed are apocryphal, added either by newspaper editors in other cities or by historians drawing on local folklore. Also, there is very little evidence to suggest that Deslondes was the sole leader of the uprising, a likelier theory would involve a greater number of leaders, as the denunciations describe. In any case, Kook's role in the uprising is fairly central and he should be present in any encyclopedic entry on the subject. Danielrasmussen (talk) 22:43, 8 December 2008 (UTC)

Unusual wording
The text said "A group of Africans who have been forcefully enslaved met on January 6, 1811." I changed it to say "...Africans who had been..." to make it past tense, but it stills seems awkward to me and may not even be true since at least one of the Africans, Deslondes, was born a slave. The current statement is that everywhere there had been forcefully enslaved (forcefully is perhaps redundant here). I'd appreciate some opinions on this. CsikosLo (talk) 14:32, 15 June 2016 (UTC)

Re-interpretation
In 2019, a "re-enactment" with a different interpretation of the meaning of the rebellion and with a number of women participating took place: https://www.npr.org/2019/11/09/777810796/hundreds-march-in-reenactment-of-a-historic-but-long-forgotten-slave-rebellion 37.99.48.187 (talk) 07:24, 10 November 2019 (UTC)

I noticed a discrepancy between the page on the 1811 uprising and the page on the uprising’s leader, Charles Delondes. On his page, part of the article reads, “There have many articles which stated the younger Andry had been killed as well. This is completely false. The "younger Andry", Gilbert Andry, died on January the 2nd and was buried on January the 3rd, five days prior to the start of the revolt.[7]” However, on the page about the uprising it says that Gilbert WAS killed during the revolt. These conflicting accounts should be reconciled. Thank you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:602:D100:6970:34C7:B48F:1B35:C8AD (talk) 17:09, 2 October 2021 (UTC)
